From the back
I rarely see any interesting story when photos are taken from the back of people. With a few exceptions.
Sometimes not seeing the face add a dimension to a photo if it’s interesting enough.
Some images tell a different story when the face isn’t seen clearly.
It may start a thought process about what the person looks at and how the face looks. Where are they going and much more?
Judge for yourself. What do you think?

Agree fully. It’s not just the absence of the face, it’s the whole context. Often photos taken from the back can express loneliness, or the opposite, intimacy, between two people. (The viewer is locked out of the relationship.) More is left to the imagination of the viewer.

There are some stories that have a special meaning when done this way.

Tænker på Ole Linds (Jyllans Posten) skønne foto af Mogens Glistrup taget bagfra. Jeg har selv benyttet “bahfra-foto” flere gange. Best et vinderfoto af et atombryllup på Langeland (se det på Pressefotografforbundets hjemmeside)

Dem husker jeg 👍 Fantastiske billeder.
Tog et af Poul Nesgaard for nogle år siden hvor jeg fik ham til at vende ryggen til. Sommetider kan det noget andet. Se det her https://www.mortenalbek.com/poul-nesgaard-off16/
