How the subject in a portrait poses is a big part of creating a great portrait. The rules that apply to photography can be directly transferred into this arena. The basics for framing a subject and planning the portrait are both basically the same. The best part about technology these days is the use of digital cameras, which allow you to capture many pictures and review them instantly. This can be great a tool for experimenting with different angles and poses. When in search for ideas for shots, the best way to be inspired is to look at other.
