Portraiture Definition

Portrait photography or portraiture is photography of a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photograph is usually the person's face, although the entire body and the background or context may be included.

 I love how the baby is clearly a native to the environment that she has been captured in and the lighting is all natural and illuminates her face, this makes for  a great depiction of her face.

 I like how the picture is a closeup  of her face, this image is clearly photo-shopped but i love the clarity and the contrast of light and dark colours.

 I love how natural this image is and the angle that she is sitting to the camera and how the backdrop, her eyes and her top are all matching in colour.

I love how effective the angle of this picture is so effective in showing a different perspective of the woman, i also love how simple it looks from it just being black and white.



My own definition: portraiture is the photography of a person or a group of people, it is taken to show expression of the person.
