[QUOTE="egosbar, post: 290571, member: 19871"] if you need too ask that question then clearly you are an amatuer which there is nothing wrong with but you shouldnt expect too shoot like a pro yet , read books etc and you will get better , the 18 - 55 is an ok lens but there are far better lenses then it for portraits , concentrate on good poses or natural shots with good backrounds and bokeh and focus on the nearest eye of your subject , practice good shooting tecniques so no subject blur with any lens and your on your way , good portraits a lot of the time have blurred backrounds where the subject really stands out ,use a wide open aperture on the 18-55 and you will get bokeh but as i said much better lenses , try the 1.8 50mm its cheap and better blur capabilities , but if you shoot wide open make sure you get the focal point exactly where you want it as i said normally on the eye oh and the most important use the light right its very very important for great shots [/QUOTE]
