cheers but i can't find any good techinques to help me there doesn't seem to be one on how to do standard portrait photography!
 
Don't take this the wrong way but with your signature and the number of seemingly unrelated threads you've started over the past month, it really seems like you're just spamming to try and get views on your flickr.

Standard portraiture doesn't exist, everything is different. If you have pictures in mind post them up and we can give you some hints on the key points of what made that image.
 
Its a forum ! Im trying new techniques ! And want to learn different ways ! And thats ehy they are random because i come on to learn
 
Most of photography you learn by doing, and you're still not being even remotely specific about what sort of portraiture you want to shoot.

:agree:
The best way is to look through a load of portraits, then pick one which you would like to replicate, and try and work out how the photographer did it.
You will learn a lot by the mistakes you will inevitably make, but you will get there eventually.
If you get close to what you want to achieve, but can't quite get there, then post the images up on here, and ask for some specific advice on how to get what you want.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Gary
