PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Author: Aston Park

Let us ask ourselves a simple but intriguing question. Who is the single most important person in our life? If we are speaking the truth, the answer is very simple; ourselves. For each individual, the most important person in the world is he or she, himself or herself. This self importance is manifested in art in the form of portraits. Previously, portraits used to be painted. Eminent personalities and distinguished figures used to sit for hours or even days for getting their portraits painted. Camera and photography have reduced the time taken to get a portrait of yourself from days to mere seconds.

Portrait photographs, or portraitures as they are also known, are, technically speaking the capture of a person or a small group of people. The face and the expressions should be the predominant features of a portrait photograph and generally the person (or the group) would be facing the camera.

There are basically three types of portrait photographs:

1. Individual portraits – As the name suggests, an individual poses for the photographs and the aim of the photographer is to capture the emotions and through them the personality of the person.

2. Group or family portraits – This refers to the portrait of a group of people. People usually prefer a family portrait although portraits of friends are also not unheard of.

3. Abstract portraits – This is the third and probably the most interesting type of portrait photography as this refers to the photograph of an individual part of the body and not necessarily the face.

Red Flair is one of the best places to get a portrait for you and your family in Melbourne. They have experienced photographers who would be able to capture each and every emotion on your face and give you a portrait you can proudly display in your home.

About the Author:

Aston Park's interest in photography outshone his aptitude for the art by an embarrassing margin. Realising early that he was not cut out for a role handling cameras and lenses, he picked up pen and paper instead and has been writing about photographers and photography related topics for a long time now. After working for so long with photographers, Aston has overcome his ineptitude with the camera and can now claim to be a handy photographer himself.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.^[1] With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.
