In surreal portrait photography, you'll

notice that models have similar

expressions. They might look lost in
thought, confused, unaware of the
camera, and so on.

The seriousness of their expressions plays

an important role. It has the ability to
intensify the surreal effect of the
portrait.

If they looked cheerful in the middle of

an unusual landscape, the image would
look out of place. There's nothing wrong
with this mix, but it doesn't define the
surreal portraits genre.

The more serious your model looks, the

easier it is to make even simple
compositions look surreal.

Here are a few general portrait examples

to use as references. Share them with
your model before the photoshoot to
ensure that you're both on the same
page.
