A portrait is a painting, photograph,
sculpture, or other artistic
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.
Portrait photography is a popular commercial industry all over the
world. Many people enjoy having professionally made family portraits to
hang in their homes, or special portraits to commemorate certain events,
such as graduations or weddings.
Since the dawn of photography, people have made portraits. The popularity
of the daguerreotype in the middle of the 19th century was due in large
part to the demand for inexpensive portraiture. |

Studios sprang up in cities around the world, some cranking out more
than 500 plates a day. The style of these early works reflected the
technical challenges associated with 30-second exposure times and the
painterly aesthetic of the time. Subjects were generally seated
against plain backgrounds and lit with the soft light of an overhead
window and whatever else could be reflected with mirrors. |
