A Angles
Take your photos from above or below your subject. Some of the best shots are taken sitting on a chair or kneeling on the ground.

For a glowing silhouette effect, have your subject stand in front of a widow or sunny sky. Be sure to use your flash with this one.

Arrange people to form a visual triangle to create balance and a sense of movement in your pictures.
