How we define a portrait


A portrait is a painting, photograph is a representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.


Would appreciate if you could invite your friends/contacts/strangers who you think are obsessed with portraits to this group.
