Next, let the author to share some experience, on how to take pictures of those who have a "Feel".

First, determine the theme. Whether the guest films or subjective creation, clear theme is very necessary, especially for portraits. Topics can be derived from the photographer a moment of inspiration, can also be derived from the photographed personality characteristics, or catch a movie, a song, a memory images and atmosphere. On the premise of clear theme, photographers and models to discuss mutual communication, visualization and image, form both sides understand your subject.
