They say that you should only know the rules in order to break them, well I did!

One of the  portraits rules states that you should 'Give room to the subject to look into',' this means that it should be looking inside the frame.  But of course, there are times when you can break this rule.

You can use the position of the subject and the direction of the eyes to indicate that there is something beyond the frame, this leads the viewer to imagine what is out there, creating a very powerful effect.
