The quick Creative Projects video above takes us to the studio of New York City-based Mark Clennon. First, we learn a little about his background as a portrait photographer, which should inspire anyone who wants to take the same path in the industry. Then, he shares his tips for directing, shooting and editing interesting portraits with the iPhone 12. Many of his composition tips are tried and tested techniques for portraiture.
