ABOUT THE PORTRAIT in PHOTOGRAPHY...
Photography is a powerful medium.
Too often underestimated, yet it is the perfect recording of our history, forever changing lifestyles, the all important memories...
Cameras only the tools of the trade, note I write 'cameras', no distinction, it is my firm conviction that it is the person using the tools that is responsible for the result.
An often neglected form of art in photography is that of portrait photography.
What is perceived as a good portrait photographer not only wants to capture the true likeness, but also the personality of the individual.
The photographer needs to be proficient not only in the workings and setting of the camera, but also needs to understand form and lighting.
Great lighting and positioning can make someone appear at their best form if used correctly.
Lighting and camera placement can also aid in correcting defects such as shortening a nose, making someone appear slimmer, and other visual enhancements.
In this form of art, portrait photography takes on many roles, and can help create various moods that the individual is seeking.
Like in everything else, there’s ever changing TREND.
You only have to look at the family/school/wedding portrait of 50-20 years ago!!!!!!!!
I like the way it's going, but it took some time...
I believe we have become too obsessed with the 'technicality' of the manipulation rather than with the content of the pictures.
Personally, if a photograph touches me, that is the first criterion!
Unfortunately I must admit, if it has been 'massacred' with some software, that rapidly takes away ALL emotions except, GGGGRRRRRR, hihi,
Anybody (hate the question) who asks me: 'and, what do you photograph?' makes me think, my answer would be the BEAUTY in everything?
However I must admit, portraiture may be the most difficult discipline, I find it also the most rewarding!
Have a wonderful day and thank you very much for your comments, always appreciated, M, (*_*)
