What, in your opinion makes a good portrait photo? What are things to avoid when making a portrait?

Re: Yoo, how are these pictures

They look good, especially when seeing people smiling.  On a few of them I would have cropped out a little of the "empty" space at the top (above their heads).  Some of them could have been brightened a little too.  At least that how I see them on my monitors.  Good job!

Fabulous images. Lot's of spontaneous expressions. Interesting, not boring.  In a couple of them the background is a little jarring because you are not using f1.4 or f1.8 as is often done in portraiture, but that can easily addressed if you want. The bokeh tool in Photoshop works wonders ->Filters->Depth Blur.  Other programs also do this.

But that aside, they are very nice just as they are.

I would try brightening some of them.  Some are a bit dark to my taste.  But, that's just me.

A most excellent mullet and photo bomb in the last picture.

You still seem to like everything tinted green, but you’re consistent so it must be intentional.
