Photographic portraiture

Photographic portraiture is the art of capturing the personality and essence of a person through photography. It focuses on creating images that reveal an individual's character, mood, or identity, often emphasizing their face, expression, and posture. Photographers use elements like lighting, background, and composition to highlight or evoke specific qualities. The goal is to produce a compelling image that connects the viewer to the subject, whether formal or candid, professional or personal, making the person’s uniqueness the central feature of the photograph.
