About Unportrait

For photographs that clearly describe a person (portraits),

What things do you see that describe you, or some-one-else. Take a photograph of these things, describe what you think the photographs says about you with notes on the photo, or in the description below, then post them here.

Posted photo requirements:

1) the physical presence (body) of the person being portraited is not in the photograph

2) the content of the picture is described with text (description and/or notes). In your view, what does the photograph demonstrate about the person being unportraited?

3) Do not post photographs that might confuse or offend a 12 year old child or a sensitive adult.

4) add unportrait as a tag to the picture

5) post no more than one unportriat of a specific person. For example, only one self-unportriat, not a series of self-unportriats. The goal is to caputre the essence of the persons character

6) if you like an unportrait in the set post a positive comment describing what exactly you like about it (e.g. colour, texture, composition, similarity to you etc). Avoid giving generalised praise like 'cool;, 'beautiful', 'cute', 'lovelly'. Strive to comment on at least one photograph, ideally more.

6) consider inviting your friends to join this group

Photographs that do not conform to these rules will be removed from the set..

Examples of unportraits that inspired this group

1) Edmittances photograph of his bookcase:


2) a photograph of the contents of a wardrobe conveys something of the persons taste's and organisational style without showing them

3) a photograph on a wall posted atlas owned by a girl who was always some-where-else
