Successful portraiture often involves ensuring that the subject and the scene blend together well. There is more to achieving this than finding an attractive backdrop and photographing your model against it. Use elements of the background to relate to the sitter; try to match tone and colour; or go for deliberate contrast – it’s usually best to avoid clothes with strong primary colours when working with neutral backgrounds, for example. Make sure that your subject’s clothes and pose are in keeping with the location. Hiring a professional model can certainly help in this regard. It is also essential to know the best time of day to photograph in a location, and plan what lighting equipment (such as diffusers and reflectors) you will need.
