I mostly point my camera at things rather than people. People photography is an entirely different undertaking. The technical aspects are important but must be mastered and almost forgotten. From the moment a portrait subject steps into the studio the most important aspect of achieving a usable photograph is the photographer's ability to put the subject at ease and catch the most flattering and representative moments. To my mind, a good portrait does not just show the subject in a flattering way, it also shows something of that person's unique character and personal beauty.
