Incorporating a Documentary Style into your Portrait Poses

A great article by Giora Dan outlining the different aspects to adopting a documentary approach to your photography. Notice how the surroundings in all her portraits are absolutely integral to the the overall image and the telling of the story. Although used for editorial purposes in Giora’s case, this style can easily be incorporated into your individual or family portraits to achieve that reportage feel.
