Portrait Photography
As a portrait photographer, I look for the story behind the face that transcends the portrait into a meaningful representation of not only the external, but the essence of the individual. “A good portrait will draw you to it” A good portrait will draw you to it, pulling you in to the uniqueness of the individual and revealing much about the individual.
Portraits taken of a subject on a regular basis reveal inner changes in the psyche, as well as observing the changes in a face and expression over the years. This is especially true of babies and children as they change in appearance and often in personality. Timely family portraits tell much about the family’s dynamics and the development and growth of this traditional unit.
In recent years, portraiture has changed to include more casual settings, digital treatments, and/or a Painterly effect. You can see examples of these creative treatments on my site.
