Guidelines When Taking Portraiture Photos
This series of photographs is important for the analysis of asymmetry/symmetry and implements the fundamental concept of aesthetic integration, which compares the relationships between the commissural axis and the occlusal axis to the bipupillary axis.
In this series include the patient's entire face from hairline to just below the chin.
Helpful Settings for a Macro Lens: f/22, ISO between 100-400, Shutter speed @ 1/60-1/250.
Shoot in Raw format and use auto focus.
