One of the most common ways to take a picture is a portrait.Portraits are those pictures where you have the subject usually in a pose.  Since it is so common a lot of times you don't see a variety.But if you try and use a little more creativity you can make the average shots so much better.This article's goal is to have you learn some ways that you can make an average photo better.

First thing you will want is maybe having the perspective of the shot from a different angle.  What I mean by that is to not just take a picture from the normal way you would do it.  You can change where the picture is coming from.  This is helpful in my San Diego wedding photographer business.People are so familiar with all the standard photos and poses that when you do something different by changing it up a little bit it makes a world of difference.Take some photos you take from a higher angle.  Or you can take a common photo and get low to the ground and shoot up.  It really makes the photo look different.

Another good photography is playing with the eyes.In general all pictures are taken by having the subject look directly at the camera.  But the direction of the subject's eye really impacts the picture.  What you can do is have the subject look off camera.This makes such a difference in the look and feel of it all. Doing a lot of San Diego event photography I have my subjects do this all the time.

Another trick you might want to try is getting the subject to look at something with the picture.  This works great if you are trying to advertise something.  You can have the subject staring at the product you are advertising.  This is a trick that I do a lot as a San Diego corporate photographer.It really makes a big difference by bringing the focus onto the product.

So those are some tips you can do to really make your common photos uncommon.
