Apart from ways to capture the model itself, adding something else, like a green houseplant or small antique, creates visual interest. Background choice helps too. For example, placing the model on a grainy wooden table or oriental carpet can help your pic stand out. If you need to go outdoors for the best light spreading a drape, like your favorite leather jacket, can hide distracting elements like peeling paint or broken concrete.
