This is the exposure lecture.
Your subject is portraits, instead of trying to build from scratch, look at others people work and build from there. I'm not saying to copy them, but to study them. Why is this portrait invoking or interesting is what you need to ask yourself whenever you look at a photo. Do not respond: "because the eyes are cool." Respond: "The skin and background textures interact in color and texture that pop the eyes and invite the inspection of both that is further complimented by the position of the figure. The texture is created excellently by the position of the light which further creates eye movement by creating interesting highlights in the cane, eyes, and hair." What part of this do like? What part do you like? What would you do differently if taking a portrait of this person? Is there a different effect you like that would like to bring into this portrait?
Pick several websites, artists both on the web and in book, and browse them everyday, asking yourself these questions and you WILL get better.
