Portraiture photography is a type of photography that focuses on the identity, personality, and mood of an individual or group. The photographers usually will focus on the main subject’s face and expressions. Not only shooting other models is portraiture, but selfies, detailed close-ups, abstract style portraitures, or even a still-life all might be counted as portraiture photographs. As long as the pictures reflects the characteristics or identity of the main subject, it will count as a portrait photograph. This type of photography often uses lighting, composition, and background to construct the main idea they want to show to the audience. The goal of portraiture photography is to create an image that conveys the essence of the subject, making it different from other photography styles. A good portrait can effectively show a person’s characteristics, personality, mood, and identity. If you can’t express these all in one picture, a set of photos might be a good choice for you.
