PORTRAIT

Portraiture is a representation of a specific person by reproducing their individual features, where above all the facial features must be prominent, in contrast to a full figure, where the whole body is depicted. A portrait is a picture that shows a person's individual character traits and facial expressions.Portraits commemorate, celebrate, and show us who we were – and who we are now. A portrait photograph may be important for historic preservation, personal branding or for personal pleasure. 
Portrait photography is so much more than just taking a picture. It's about capturing the essence of a person, preserving memories, showcasing your personality and brand, and creating a unique experience.
While this definition may sound simple, portrait photography can be one of the most challenging forms of photography to master. The goal is to capture a photo that appears both natural and prepared to allow the subject’s personality to show through.
A photo becomes a portrait when the subject along with the background, lighting and emotion can evoke a sense of connection between the viewer and the portrait photograph.
