2019 Portrait/Headshot Trends: The Artistic Experimentation

Photographers in 2019 were not afraid to experiment, and this led to some breathtakingly innovative trends.

1. Double Exposures: Combining two different images into a single frame became a rage, leading to some deeply creative portraits.
2. Color Gels: Using colored gels on lights introduced vibrant, unexpected hues, making portraits pop and giving them a surreal touch.
3. Movement Blur: Instead of crisp, static shots, introducing movement and capturing it with a bit of blur became a notable trend, especially for dancer or athlete portraits.
4. Geometric Elements: Introducing geometric shapes, either through props or shadows, added a modern touch to portraits.
5. Asymmetry: Breaking the norms of perfect framing, portraits started playing with asymmetry, leading to intriguing compositions.
