The Portrait Issue.
what do you think is a PORTRAIT?
What i think is a portrait is taken a picture of someone face. However i change my mind after reading a really helpful essay. It change my mind in a way that i see taking a portrait is more complicate than it sounds. What i now think of an portrait is that the photographer has to have a really intimate relationship with the model in order to have a really pretty image. i now think that a portrait means more and in every portrait there is a meaning. The connection between the model and the photographer have to be from another level, a level which the model can tell a story without even speaking. The model also has to have a good connection with the camera, because the camera is a medium from the model to the photographer.A portrait is something more than a snap shot, it tells a story to the viewer without sound without a clue but with that real person in that moment.
