these two are nick named the espresso shoot, the reason being that both of these were inspired by looking at the espresso cup i was drinking from at the time and, without the espresso cup, would be incomplete, it would look a bit daft having my arm hanging in the air for no reason wouldn't it.
Also, something you shouldn't forget when taking portraits, the background, in this image if the camera had been moved i would have lost the fantastic colours behind me, i would have had the lovely green backdrop of the plants of the beautiful contrast between the wooden support beam and the nature behind me, showing two for of the same product, trees.
and alternative composition could have been on a street,using the pose of the partnered image (which is basically the same pose but inverted), but with a crowd of people around me possibly with an extended shutter time, showing a contrast between hectic city life and the calm of the person just taking a step back and stopping for and taking a couple of minutes to watch the world go by.
Backgrounds are sometimes forgotten when taking a portrait, and while may want your shots to look natural don't be afraid to set-up a couple of photos once in a while with more detail. because as seen in the partner picture, staged shots can look natural as well
