I really enjoyed this simple but inspiring list of things to try to make your portraits stand out. I really like how each technique is illustrated so poignantly to demonstrate the effectiveness...

Which ones have you tried and which are your favourites?

Excellent article, very interesting blog, ST...

Thanks...

I haven't tried many since I really don't have many people to pose for me or to shoot at to work more with portrait. However when I was in Mexico I tried to take my portraits when they were doing their things and without they knowing I had the camera... my sister in the kitchen, the kids in the garden I think those are the best I have got from them.

I think also this technique is very useful for people that feels uncomfortable with a camera in front of them or is afraid of it. You get more even when they are not looking at the lens.
