I always prefer to take portrait shots in motion or in thoughts as it provides a lot more depth than conventional look-into-camera shot. It gives the viewer a chance to relate to the protrait's emotion and character. A lot of people tend to be less natural when they are aware that they are in frame. That's why, I try to catch them unaware! =D
