In this tutorial, we go behind the scenes as Gina shoots and directs a portrait of Hannah. Hannah is not a model. She’s a regular person.

In these all-access videos, you’ll see:

• How Gina directs Hannah to stand
• The way Gina gets Hannah to have the right expression
• Why the S-shape is so important even if you’re cropping the photo at the waist
• How to bring a bit of life to Hannah’s hair
• How Gina directs Hannah to lean on the back of a chair
• Why Gina is blowing out the background
• How to take plates of the background so that you have more options for your shots later.
