There are lots of reasons someone might want to hide their face in a photo. Maybe the person is shy, maybe they feel a little bit insecure or worried that people will judge them negatively for something. Lots of times though it's simply just a way to bring a different side of someone's personality out or try something creative. I personally like to hide and obscure faces in my photography when I am shooting for book cover submissions because it gives a hint at the character without completely ruining the readers imagined version of the character.
Whatever the reason is I have lots of examples of ways that you can hide and obscure faces in your photography on my Wild Empress YouTube channel. You can check it all out here:
