Portraits taken at an angle?

[sjconner]

I have noticed a large number of portraits that were shot with the subject tilted at about 30 degrees or so. Why is this? I have been out of photography for a while.

Thanks, Susan

Some people think it's cool, but it does not work very often

Beause it is artistic and that's what all the pros on myspace do!
