PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

Aston Park

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.
