Definition - Portraiture

Dictionary Definition - 'The art of painting or taking portraits'

Words to describe portraiture - self, close-up, family





This image of young boy is capturing the laughter and happiness of the young boy in that exact moment. It captures the formal element of form as well. He is holding his feet in away  which suggests hat he is holding himself up because he is only young. 


This portrait captures the emotionless face of a young man. This photograph also captures the form of his face. There is a slight shadowing on the left side of his face and the right side is clear and almost looks smooth.


This is one of the more creative portrait photographs. This is still a portrait photograph but it is not a head on shot, it is from the side and she is holding a magnifying glass over her eye which is enlarging her eye. 
















This is another photograph of a baby, i feel babies are used as the models of portraiture because they will give very natural poses as they can't be controlled so they will create pictures which cannot be replicated due to the fact no two babies will make the exact same pose. 




















My definition - An image or painting of a person or group of people.
