Shoot some portraits. Pay attention to where they are in relation to the background. Remember the whole figure/ground thing? Well, you ought to be realizing that it *does* matter. Get close. Be focused on their eyes. Get a real expression. Don't just take one...take a LOT.
Now that you have your portraits, you can come back to the studio and do some greyscale conversions. Make the contrast perfect via the color sliders. Add some sharpness. Make sure the blacks are rich. Make them right.
Print a few out, blog a few. Give them to your models. Make them happy they modeled for you and got something out of it. Don't be a cheap photographer and don't be lazy.
Interesting exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery.
