Why not try unusual Creative and different compositions for portraits? Why does a portrait have to include a frontal face image? Why not think outside of the box?
Even if I try and fail, I have gained knowledge with experimental creative possibilities.
Please download this one for best clarity.

You've really opened my eyes to a new way of appreciating beautiful women, it was once 'boobs', now it's nostrils. Well done!

Inside the box is small, outside is a whole universe.

Thanks garygrafic for the "well done" comment. It's nice to know other photographers like myself are ok with trying something different and out of the ordinary.

I just reminded myself.....many, many moons ago (60 odd years) from the time I was an assistant to my retirement, I was the envy of all my non photographer friends, the absolutely stunning models that were in and out of the studio, never really turned me on. I half-joked the kind of facial attributes that really turned me on was certain kinds of crooked teeth, glasses a plus, and a certain degree of old acne! Lauren Hutton had right teeth (gap in front), Oh and hair like Louise Brooks. My friends were always scouting. It was a running gag. Nothing's changed. Seriously, nostrils, no.

Gary, as strange as it may seem, I think I can understand where your past has been and can relate to it. Just because a model is stunning looking doesn't mean much if their personality turns you off.

Interesting photo but I would not pay to have my daughter's picture taken this way. The veins showing in her neck and chest add another uncomfortable element.

bertloomis, I wouldn't pay for it either. I was just looking at the photo more of an artist would rather than a portrait of someone you love in your family.
