Offbeat

Are accurate skin colors always necessary for a portrait
Body expressions
Hair as a prop
Hands and arms as props
Have your subject perform a task
Images that no longer exist
Making the ordinary interesting
Messing around with bulletin boards
Mothers (and fathers) of the model
People approaching and passing me
Photographing in the model's home (especially the bedroom and bathroom)
Placing the subject in the frame
Shoot up, shoot down
The advantages of being lazy
The wonderful world of props
Up against the wall
Veils, gauzy curtains, and maybe a blanket
When a shot suggestion I didn't like actually turns out well
