[Post] Artistic view of Portrait photography


Portrait Photography can be simplified with representation of a person
But there are different method to present for each portrayal.

Some use painting, some use literature, some use sculpturing, and some use photographing.

Portrait painting has been drawn from ancient times.
Imagine a person with a written description.
Portrait popular carved in the 18th century.
Portrait Photograph has become a very controversial issue in this century.


Portrait from the ancient cave and then to the ancient people used to describe the way poems,
European art of the came to love the portrait sculpturing.
With the art of the 18th century played a wonderful change,
Art is no longer only the artist issue, art has slowly get involved into the people's life.


Later, the development of electronic devices quickly, so that people can record their own way.
Until now, the general SLR.
From an artistic point of view, now is the e-portraits.
Portrait: Why so love about it?

Activities of human on Earth from hundred million years ago, the most important thing is communication.
From a simple view of portraying is just capture a face of a person.
But to show a wonder piece of work, not a simple word or sentence can simply describe.

[Mona Lisa's smile] is the most basic portrait example.
Simple but effective composition.

There are many famous photographers go to different countries to cpture portraits of different ethnic groups.
Like the recently well known portrait of Afghan girls from Steve Mccurry
In addition to compare the authentic writing,
there are some photographers portraying personality of a person..
For example Joe McNally's photo.

Form the artistic view of Portrait photography,
let's take some meaningful photo that you won't regret about.

[Portraits] Ballet Alone



I would have been had the concept of vision or the idea to shooting ballet.
But in the understanding of ballet and magic beans, I felt in:
Ballet body's lines between the aesthetic photography is difficult to get a balance.


This shooting increase my understanding of ballet.
Quite a good shooting. Ha ha

From the discussion till the actuall shooting that day,
I've a basic concept of bringing a Sad scene in the frame.

Terence and I are struggling to find a better frame.
Finally, I chose to use flash to create a Spotlight results focus upon the model.
With a feeling of loneliness.



This shooting gives us a very good psychological preparation,
Because we will challenge again ballet portraits!
