Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Posing: To create a nice portrait - as opposed to a fashion photo, grunge photo, dramatic photo - there are some rules that elevate the snapshot into a portrait:
1) the Eyes, Nose, and Sternum each face a different direction!. You can have the eyes and nose both go straight to the camera, but once you have that shot, go into poses where the nose is not pointing straight at the camera!.

2) Watch how raising and lowering the chin change the feeling the viewer gets!.

Expression: Forced smiles look like, how do you say, forced smiles!

Laughing, chuckling, saying "Yes!!!" are good ways for a subject to get a natural expression - you both do it together!.

Watch your own feelings (over moments, minutes, days) and then ask your subjects to express those same feelings!. Or, create scenes that evoke those feelings!.

Then you might want to try creating or evoking emotions that especially like feeling, or hate feeling, or would like to feel!.

I would simply say observe your favorite photographs from some professionals that you use as inspiration and use those as a guide to get you started with your own vision!. If you truly have an obsession for photography, then you'll eventually create your own best poses, best scenery, best expressions and eventually your own website!.

With that being said, browse through and find some favorites on Flickr or Photo!.net to hopefully get you started!.
