DSG Podcast | Episode 39: Photographing Portraits with Personality

July 17, 2015

You Matter!
Our deepest sympathies go out to Heidi Swapp and her family. You are not alone. If you or a loved one is in emotional crisis or having suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1 (800) 273-8255 or visit their website to chat live with a trained representative. Help is available 24/7, free and your call is 100% confidential.

  Lix Hewett talks with us about photographing portraits with personality. How do you get a teenager to cooperate with the camera? What lenses work best? How much post processing to do? We explore listener questions and some of our own to help you take photos you'll love!
