Pay Attention To Details
Use a prime lens: A prime lens with a wide aperture (such as f/1.8 or f/1.4) is ideal for portraits, as it allows you to create a shallow depth of field and isolate the eyes from the background.
Focus on the eyes: The eyes are the focal point of any portrait, so make sure they're in sharp focus. Use a wide aperture (low f-number) to create a shallow depth of field and blur the background, drawing attention to the subject's eyes.
