A portrait is taken to define the l
ikeness of a person or people and e
ven more so, it is a picture of som
eone’s face. However, in general th
e word has a deeper meaning when it
 is shown in a photo. Portrait phot
ography is understood to be of good
 quality and not only does it captu
re a person’s physical look on film
, but will also show a characterist
ic in the manner that is pleasant t
o the eye, attractive and a unique
mannerism of the subject. A very we
ll done portrait will at least cont
ain one element that reveals what t
he subject’s personality and attitu
de or any other traits or features
that is natural to the person.
One of the benefits of doing portra
it photography is the conversation
that will take place. It takes an u
nderstanding and skill of human nat
ure to be able to take a good portr
ait. It will require engaging in a
conversation with the subject you a
re working with, find a suitable to
pic that will spark and interest an
d a reaction. Common ground is a gr
eat way to start when building a ra
pport with the person, the more you
 know about the person you photogra
ph, the easier it will be to take a
 great quality shot. It is importan
t for the subject to be at ease wit
h you so their natural characterist
ics will show through and appear na
tural on film.
