How to shoot it

Shooting a panorama portrait isn't much different from other panoramas, but there are a few things to be mindful of that are unique to them. Since you're shooting at such a narrow depth of field, be sure to get your focus accurate. You can use live view and zoom in to confirm the focus is where you want it.

Next, lock the focus and exposure using either manual focus and manual exposure mode, or using your camera's ae/af button. You don't want the exposure to be adjusted between frames, and you don't want your focus shifting around throughout the scene.

I always shoot the first frame on my subject, to ensure the exposure and focus are correct for the most important frame of the panorama. I then shoot left to right, bottom to top. You can see a sample of the frames below and how I shot the above in sequence:
