The Best Portrait Photographers in the World
Ranked #127 in Arts , #2,212 overall | Donates to Ecotrust
These photographers will astonish you with their pictures
I am collating a list of the leading portrait photographers around the world and will refer my clients to the best person in their area. Please contact me if you would like to be considered for inclusion.
I create unique jewelry by carving a portrait in gemstone and setting it into gold. I want to have the very best portrait photographs to use for my cameo portraits. I often ask my clients to visit the best portrait photographer in their area to have a photo shoot.
I will not automatically add a photographer to this lens. I need to be satisfied that their work is of a very high standard.
What make a great portrait photograph
How a photo studio creates the best shots
This is where a professional really earns their fee. There are two approaches; in the studio or outside.
Some photographers like to set up their shots in their own studio. Here they have total control over the lighting and backgrounds. Some very dramatic and breathtaking photos can be shot this way. Relaxing the subject is so important and takes some real skill to achieve inside a studio.
One of the best examples is the work of Linnea Lenkus in Los Angeles. These are amongst the very best images that I have ever seen and any of these pictures would make a striking Portrait Cameo Jewel.
Another approach is to move outside the studio. Here you can often create a more informal portrait, possibly with a hand-held camera.
This is done to great effect by Meredith Zinner in New York. The subject may be more relaxed out of doors or may even in their home. There is also the chance to add an interesting background for the photo shoot.
Featured Portrait Photographer
Patricio Orozco-Contreras' photos
Patricio's portrait work is absolutely phenomenal, each image so soft and perfectly composed with an understanding and use of light and exposure that is exceptional.
I am a huge fan of his work, Gareth Eckley.
My favorite Photographers in the United States.
