Portrait Photography Skills: How much do you know about portrait composition?

Traditionally, there are four ways of portrait composition-full-length, seven-point, bust and close-up.

Please note that these practices are just a few standard shooting methods, and in the new generation of photography, they will often be extended and have more vivid cutting methods.
