5 Highlight eyes
Eyes is the most important part of the photo where viewers’

6 Good framing
Use rule of thirds or place the subject in the side.
Avoid placing the subject in the center. It is not a hard and fast rule and if
you want to break the rule, Go ahead!

Make your subject at ease is very essential to get a
perfect candid shot.
