Portrait
A
portrait is a
painting,
photograph,
sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness,
personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a
snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.
