Portrait Techniques

One technique that interested me was alternate perspective. It's interesting because It brings out a view that you normally would not see in a photograph. Another technique is eye contact which can bring feeling to the photograph as the person's focus is not staring into the lens. Obscuring is also a good technique because is focuses your eyes on one part of the person and can bring out shadows and contrast. Lastly, introducing movement causes you to have a greater understanding of what is going on in the photo.
