If you’re shooting with a DSLR or mirrorless camera, here are a few quick reminders to level up your shots:

• Use aperture priority (A/Av mode) for portraits — keep f/2.8–f/4 for smooth background blur.
• Shutter speed: at least 1/500s for moving subjects to avoid blur.
• Keep ISO low for clean images — raise only when light is low.
• Use single-point autofocus and focus on the eyes for portraits.
• Composition: follow the rule of thirds and experiment with angles.

Bonus: Shoot in RAW and check your histogram — it helps keep details in both shadows and highlights.

Keep shooting and learning — small adjustments make big differences!
