This is how to take good pictures of people. The first rule you should follow is the rule of thirds. When you are taking pictures of people, don’t place their face in the middle of the frame unless you have a very good reason to do so. This is typically an amateur mistake that photographers make. Portrait photos look best when the subject is on the left third or the right third. If the person’s face is close to the camera then it makes sense to place their face in the middle.
If you really want to take good pictures of people then make sure there are no distractions, like a tree, immediately behind your subject’s head.
Lighting is so important. Make sure your subject’s face is correctly lit from the front or side.

Selling “recipes” instead of teaching skills in creative field is a big red flag. Don’t give this hack any of your money.
