Traditional Portraiture
- A straight forward approach to photographing a person with emphasis placed on the face of the subject.
- The object is to capture a physical likeness of the subject, as close to reality as possible.
Environmental Portraiture
- A portrait of a person taken in front of background or setting which helps to relay something meaningful about that person.
Portraits using props/clothing
-Using an object or article of clothing that relates to your subject can help to convey something unique about that person.
Portraits that rely on gesture
-By capturing your subject’s body language, i.e. a distinctive hand movement or facial expression, you can provide insight into the personality or profession of the individual you are photographing.
Portraits from the back
-It is possible to create a meaningful rendering of a person without focusing on their face.
Portraits with shadows or reflections
-Using the many different qualities of light and shadow can help to add another layer of interest and depth to a photograph.
