Flash

Flash can help give more detail in areas. As wells giving the picture a different "light" haha

Portrait

Emotion in photography is so important because it makes the picture more than just a picture. It becomes a story. You can capture this well withFocusing on eyes especially.

Angles

Taking pictures at different angles is important because it gives the picture a different view of what's going on. It makes the picture more interesting then a straight on view would give.

Light Paintings

For light painting to work you need to have the camera at low ISO and very low shutter speed, as well as a dark environment so the picture doesn't get washed out. This allows the picture to be exposed for a very long time so you can see the light trails.
