Using a tripod for portraits - - yes or no? What works for you? Do you think it makes any difference to the subject (how they perceive the photographer)?
Depends on the type of portrait. In a studio environment? Absolutely. Environmental? it depends. Most of the environmental portraits I shoot don't lend themselves to using a tripod. If the location allows it though, it would be an asset I would definitely consider.Using a tripod for portraits - - yes or no?
Not sure what you're asking here, exactly.What works for you?
It probably does for some but I've never asked. The work speaks for itself. If someone doesn't want to follow through on a shoot with me because I'm not using a tripod I'll happily suggest other photographers they might feel better about working with.Do you think it makes any difference to the subject (how they perceive the photographer)?
