Portrait Techniques

Alter your perspective.
In this technique, you have to take a picture from a differnent perspective than normal.  I think this would be fun to use in my work because you get to achive very different shots just by moving  your camera around.

Breaking the rule of thirds
In this technique, you can choose the best placement for object by selecting what makes the biggest impact on the viewer and which flows better in the photograph.  I think it would be interesting to use because it is fun to see what placement is the most effective.

Get close up
In this technique, you would cut out part of the persons body or face so that you could get close up.  You can also just chose one particular body part which could add interest and intrigue to the photograph. I think it would be fun to discover what you could do when not photographing the face directly.

Introduce a prop
This includes adding in items for the subject to wear or hold to make the photograph more interesting or have more movement.  I think this might be a little bit of a challenge to make sure the prop will not be taking away from the attention of the subject but I think it will be fun to use props to create a mood or say something in the photograph.
