As title really - I havnt ever really turned my hand to portraiture before but I really would like to be able to take some nice shots of family and friends.
Unfortunately, I seem to have some sort of mental block when it comes to a proper shoot - I cant get "into" it like I can with other shots.
I can take candids of people, thats no bother!
Thats probably the 'best' "portrait" style shot I have taken. Maybe a shot of my cat, but that doesnt really count.
I see people here posting amazing portrait shots and its something I just cant seem to manage - how do you do it?
