Use the unexpected “angles”
Of course you need the model in front, right?
You don’t want the model covered, right?
The model has to be the most visible in shot, right?
Well not always
It can be incredibly “cool” to have a model actually behind something. Especially when the model is wearing clothes that make her/him jump out from the area. Add some nice leading lines and you get a nicely balanced photo where not only the model takes the attention but actually share it with a great location.
And the location doesn’t have to be jaw dropping either. Find the angles and lines. But hey that’s photography 🙂
