Tip #1: One easy solution to this problem is to bring something to stand in your place. Height doesn't matter so much as distance, but try to match it to yourself as best as you can for accuracy.
Tips #2: Just thinking about my hobbies and past times, inspired all sorts of photo themes.
Tip #3: Get Closer. Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made.
