Docoito-Nelson discovered a particular interest
in portrait photography.
People can be among the most interesting
photography subjects in the world, but it does
take some skill to bring out what makes each
subject unique. Professionals from National
Geographic have suggested that physical
closeness helps the person to fill the frame and
capture the interest of the viewer.

3.  Photography experts also suggest that the
photographer change perspective and take the
picture from a different angle, thus helping the
viewer to see the subject in a new way.
A photographer can also add visual interest by
experimenting with the subject's pose. Humans are
naturally intrigued by the focus of a person's eyes, so
having the subject look off camera or at another
person in the photo can add emotional layers to the
shot. A prop or particular setting can help to bring
out a certain aspect of the subject's personality and
encourage a stronger connection with the viewer,
which in essence is the purpose of portrait
photography.
