The eyes are the mirror of the soul and the most important part of a portrait, they are the eyes that we see first in an image and it is in the gaze that we stop the most, it is through it that we connect with the images., and the person (or animal) we observe, because it is with our eyes that we connect when we communicate.
In short, the eyes, whenever they appear, tend to become what is called a focus of our image, so we must treat them with the importance they deserve;).
- Pero para no acabar haciendo siempre lo mismo.
- Lo mejor es detenerse y pensar en formas de ser original.
- Y como sé que no siempre es fácil parar para llenarse de inspiración.
- He hecho ese trabajo por ti :-).

- Lo más importante.

How heavy we are with this rule, aren’t we? But the truth is that we cannot ignore all the tools we have at our disposal to highlight the approach.Placing the eyes at those intersections that arise from dividing the frame into thirds improves attention in the gaze.
If you have a bright lens with a large diaphragm aperture, you can play with very small depths of field, this will allow you to highlight, through focus, the focus that, in this case, is focused on the eyes.
If you decide to work with a large diaphragm aperture (low depth of field), remember that the eye you need to focus on is closest to the lens.
Eyes that reflect light are eyes full of life, as long as you seek to highlight a look or eyes make sure they reflect the light and you will see how its beauty and interest increases.
Macrophotography is artistic to me in itself because, if it shows us a world that seems real, it shows it in a unique way that we cannot naturally appreciate and the eyes, with the richness of its tones and textures, give fascinating results.
If you don’t have a macro lens, don’t worry, there are other systems that can give you good results to get started, such as reversal rings or extension tubes.
In addition, if you still want something cheaper, I recommend flipping the lens (very carefully and in environments without sand, rain, etc.) and taking your first steps in macro photography like this, if you like you can always get interested and improve your equipment little by little.
Another way to highlight the look is to frame it with something, you can do it with your fingers, paper towels, a small mirror, a hole in a sheet, a mask, through sheets or a handkerchief.
You can find endless ways to do it, just look around to discover them.
Experimenting with light can give you excellent results. Try playing with the flashlight projector in a dark environment to highlight the eyes.This can be a bit annoying for your model, but the results can be very interesting.
One tip not to disturb the person you want to photograph is to ask them to close their eyes as you light it up, check the focus carefully, and when everything is ready, ask them to open their eyes for a moment.point, you pull the trigger and the tachometer, you’ve got it.
It’s an idea that you can invent, do and undo whatever you want, but I’ve already warned you that inspiration always comes as we work, you’ll see how to try things, others come to mind.
The eyes are not unique to the color, you can also experience black and white.Is black and white timeless, elegant, dreamy, magical?(I love it, I can see my duster, right?) forget it when working on creativity in any photographic field, or in creative eye photography.
There are looks so intense that they practically stand out from each other, only accompanying them with a good composition and concentration, they speak for themselves and manage to connect in a very powerful way with the viewer.
Something as simple as a magnifying glass you have at home or can buy cheaply, can help you enhance your look in a creative and simple way.You may also experiment with glasses or other glass surfaces that enlarge objects.
Mirrors always play a lot with photography, help you improve your creativity and tend to add mystery and interest to your photos.Do not hesitate to experiment with them in your search for a creative eye photograph.
This is the one that says you have to leave a space where your gaze is directed.Thus the image is more fluid and “breathes” the composition better.However, as always, it will depend on what you want to convey with your image.. If you want to “drown” your protagonist and transmit it, ignore this rule ;-).
Don’t limit yourself to human eyes, if you have animals nearby or like to photograph them do not hesitate to represent them too, their expressions, their looks, the type of eyes depending on the species you choose, can also be very interesting.
What do you think, do you dare to frame, to stand out with the light, or with the opening of the diaphragm, with a macro, with a handkerchief or through a door lock?A look? I hope this has inspired you and motivates you to practice, that’s why we write, dive through networks in search of images and inspiration to inspire you and, above all, encourage you to practice.
