2. High Resolution, Close Up Shots: Detail-focused shots became popular, capturing textures of the skin, hair, and eyes.

4. Vibrant Colors: Contrary to 2014, vibrant and contrasting colors became the choice, with many opting to make a statement through bold shades.
   
5. Interactive Props: Items like glasses, books, or tools of one's trade began appearing, giving a sneak peek into the subject’s life or profession.
