But if they are placed right, they can increase the beauty of the photos to a great extent! they can act as a great props.

portraits where the subject is shown leaning, either from the left or
right, at a 45 degree angle. This being I suppose “artistic”?????? ??????? ?? ????? –

Also models sometimes get stressed and photos come out a bit awkward.
I love this artist: https://www.facebook.com/JudytaPapp
She clearly manages to make the people feel comfortable and the pohots are amazing, I love the framing and grain.

Some photos are just beautiful, but others beg to tell a story ‘from the viewers Perspective’. Read the story below, understand the emotions the photo evoked. Each person of different ages and experiences will see and have a unique story of their own for the same photo. Yes, the shot needs to be great in its clarity. But when a photo touches us, then we are in touch with our humanity. Photography is an art and the “Arts” are all about humanity.

These hands of mine tell a story. The story of my life timeline. If my hands could talk, you would know me from the time I was a baby reaching out to a parent. Until it was only my hands holding each other alone. Where others see shrunken skin and wrinkles, I see character and compassion. Where others see scars and nicks, I see family meals cooked and gardens tended. Where there was strength and agility, it is replaced by tenderness and wisdom earned. Be with me and hold these hands of mine. Let me feel your love and caring from your hands. Share with me your life and I will share with you my life. We have a lot more in common than you think. Our hands tell and illustrate the consecutiveness of one generation to the next. We will have a grand time remembering. Then the torch will be passed on to you.

I think the most compelling are the ones that cause the hands to be a contributing but clearly subordinate element of the photo that are not allowed to detract from the image. My fundamental problem is that I do not find hands (or feet for that matter) particularly attractive in the first place.
