are taken with the subject facing forward

Take a Series of Shots Use “continuous shooting” mode and fire off
more than one shot at a time.Create a series of images that could be
presented together instead of just one static image.

Fill the FrameOne way to ensure
that your subject captures the attention of the viewer of your portrait is to fill the frame with their face.
It’s not something that you’d do in every shot that you take

If your subject is the only feature in the shot - there’s really nowhere else to look.
