camera focus point and eyes

I love to focus on the eyes. There’s so much emotion and life in the eyes. If I’m photographing just one person I most often put my focus point on their eyes. I love the eyes. The life is in the eyes. Whether there are smiles, intense stares, tears, wonder, or fear….you can feel it in the eyes. So try placing your focus point on your subject’s eyes. You might be happy with what you see.
