1. How do I take good portraits? چگونه پرتره خوبی بگیریم؟  

Here are some general guidelines for taking good portraits:

• Use longer focal lengths instead of shorter (telephoto instead of wide angle). This will make your subject's face more natural and less bulbous.
• Use a wide aperture for shallow depth of field. This will focus attention on your subject and not your background.
• Avoid distracting backgrounds.
• Try to achieve even illumination by exploiting natural light. If you can't use natural light, then use studio lights and/or multiple flashes and/or a bounce flash.
• Avoid taking pictures where part of your subject's face is in shadow unless you really know what you're doing.
• Avoid using a single flash pointing directly at the subject. This will create harsh shadows on either the subject of the area behind the subject.
