I have a lot of trouble with framing, close up of people, if it can squint at me I somehow have trouble get the framing right … landscape and puddle … no problem

It’s really enjoyable to capture portraits. When one of my friend requested me to capture some photos of her brother, I took the boy with me to visit a lake (he was too nervous). At first I made fun with him, made him easy in front of my camera and then capture pictures.

It’s a very good idea to capture the faces only. But I think, if it’s possible then one photographer should capture some flavor of the place too.(every one loves dinner but not better than a candle light dinner with his beloved person)

Thank You.

I must say I really like this picture. The best part of understanding “rules” is knowing when to break them. Well done!

I love this photo…it’s intriguing. Even though there is no “actual” active space in the image to the right of the woman’s face (her left), the position of her right eye, which is in sharp focus, is in the center upper third of the image and looking slightly downward. This is what is gives a perception of active space and brings harmony to the image.
PS, loving the breaking the rules series…keep ‘em coming

I like taking portraits of people running around, acting like their regular, normal self instead setting staged poses. This is an interesting article to learn more about different angles of taking portraits.

I like taking photo when the person is not paying attention to the camera. I generally do it on request though, people snaps are not my forte.

I like taking portraits of people that only show part of their face. Not due to restrictions, I just like the focus on one part of someone’s face.

It makes me think of the way I visually remember someones face; I find a distinctive element and build from there.

It’s hard to do, though. I’m far from perfecting the technique
