I receive many questions related to - how to lock focus for better portrait photos. I decided to create a quick video describing and showing how I leverage single point focus to take portraits. I used this method for many years, and I find it simple and straight forward.

NOTE: if you have a Sony camera with eye detection, you might leverage the native feature - I shot with Sony's in the past and the eye detection is solid. :)
