PLENITUDE
OF
PORTRAIT

Portrait photography, most simply, is photography of a
person or group of people in a setting. The meaning of


portrait photography is much more in practice,
though. Portraits can capture the essence or vital

qualities of a subject, or communicate something

deeper than just a surface image, in the way the

portrait photograph is captured. The face is the focus

in portrait photography, and the way it's shown,


embellished, and emphasized is where the

photographer makes the statement.

6

Portrait photography at its

most basic is pictures of


people's faces, but it's also

a photographic genre

where photographers can

make statements about their


subjects and subjects can

make statements of their

own. In this lesson, we'll


examine the history of

portrait photography,

portrait photography's

meaning, and some tips for

creating different types of

portrait photographs.

APPROACHES TO

PORTRAIT


PHOTOGRAPHY

Construction Constructionist portraits

ist portraits are very similar to

traditional portraits in
that they're the most

posed and planned of

these types.

Photographers bring in

specific backgrounds,

props, and wardrobe for

the subject to "construct"

a moment or mood.

Examples of
constructionist portraits

might include stock

photos, advertisements, or

actor headshots. These

can range from simple,

like an astronaut with his

space gear, to complex,

like the more creative

constructionist example

above.

PORTRAIT

PHOTO


TECHNIQUES

THE DIFFERENCES IN TYPES

OF PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
ARE MAINLY DIFFERENCES IN

TECHNIQUE. THESE
TECHNIQUES CAN BE
DIFFERENT LIGHTING

APPROACHES, DIFFERENT

BACKGROUNDS OR SETTINGS,
OR DIFFERENT LEVELS OF


INVOLVEMENT AND
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE


PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE

SUBJECT. IN MORE CREATIVE

PORTRAIT APPROACHES,

TECHNIQUES CAN INCLUDE


DIGITAL OR DARKROOM
EDITING AS WELL.

Environmental portraits show the subject
in their natural, everyday environment.

These are not necessarily nature- or

outdoors-related, but can be set

wherever the subject belongs. In a way,


the environment of the photo becomes a

part of the message about the subject,


just like their face or their clothing.

10

A candid portrait is

one where the


subject is unaware

that a photo has

been taken. Henri

Cartier-Bresson is

considered a master

of this. This Guardian

article, written from

the point of view of

somebody captured

in one of his photos,

reveals an insight

into the way he


worked.

landscape and

ARCHITECTURE

12

Landscape

Landscape is the visible features of
an area of land, its landforms, and
how they integrate with natural or

man- made features, often
considered in terms of their aesthetic

appeal. A landscape includes the
physical elements of geophysically

defined landforms such as (ice-
capped) mountains, hills, water
bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds
and the sea, living elements of land

cover including indigenous
vegetation, human elements including
different forms of land use, buildings,

and structures, and transitory
elements such as lighting and weather

conditions. Combining both their
physical origins and the cultural
overlay of human presence, often
created over millennia, landscapes
reflect a living synthesis of people
and place that is vital to local and

national identity.

13

Architecture

Architecture, the art and technique
of designing and building, as
distinguished from the skills

associated with construction. The
practice of architecture is employed

to fulfill both practical and
expressive requirements, and thus it
serves both utilitarian and aesthetic
ends. Although these two ends may

be distinguished, they cannot be
separated, and the relative weight

given to each can vary widely.
Because every society—settled or
nomadic—has a spatial relationship
to the natural world and to other
societies, the structures they produce
reveal much about their environment
(including climate and weather),

history, ceremonies, and artistic
sensibility, as well as many aspects of

daily life.

14

Landscape

Landscape photography

shows the spaces within

the world, sometimes vast

and unending, but other


times microscopic.

Landscape photographs


typically capture the

presence of nature but

can also focus on man-


made features or

disturbances of

landscapes. Landscape

photography is done for

a variety of reasons.

15

Architecture

Architecture

photography also

referred to as building

photography or

structure photography

generally means

photography that

focuses on buildings. It

can include shooting

building exteriors and

interiors, as well as


bridges, other

structures, and


cityscapes.

16

OBJECT AND
EVENTS





17

Event photography is the
professional art of


snapping high-quality

images during a wide

variety of important

occasions, from personal

events like weddings or

birthday parties to large

public gatherings like

corporate events, galas,

award ceremonies, and


music festivals.

18

An object is a visual

element within a photo,

while the subject of that

photo is what the image is

actually about. Examples


of objects that might

inhabit part or all of the

photographic frame might


include the following:

Face.

HISTORY PHOTOGRAPHY
FROM 1839 UNTIL 1980.
20

HISTORY PHOTOGRAPHY

FROM 1839 UNTIL 1980

Before photography : Camera Obscura
It was invented around 13-14 Centuries
Camera Obscura which is Latin for the Dark Room.
This camera could project the image on the wall or piece of paper.

Camera Obscura is essentially dark , closed space in the shape of

box with hole on one side of it. The hole has to be small enough in

proportion to the box to make the camera work properly. Light

coming in through a tiny hole transforms and creates an image on

the surface of the box. However, the image is flipped and upside


down.

21

The First Photograph

Was taken in 1825
by a French inventor

Joseph Nicephore Niepce.

It records aview from the

window at Le Gras.

Notables in Photography

ALFRED STIEGLITZ One of the people behind photography

as art was Alfred Stieglitz, an American

photographer and promoter of modern

art.
He, along with F. Holland Day led the

photo Secession.

The first photography art
movement whose primary task
was to show that photography

was not only about the subjects of
the picture but also the
manipulation by the
photographer that led to the
subject being potrayed.

known as Felix Nadar was a French
caricaturist, journalist and photography.

use of artifical lightning in photography

published the first ever photo interview
in 1886.

Towards the end of his life, Nadar
published Quand J'etais
Photographe, which was
translated into English and

Photo manipulation involves the
transformation or alteration of a

photograph using various methods and

techniques to achieve desired results.

considered to be skillful artwork to
improve the appreance of a product,
person or simply as entertainment.

and magazines to make their products or

the person look better and more

appealing than how they look in reality.

31

2 generation being exposed to an extreme

amount of imagery that has been

manipulated. Not only photos being

manipulated by professionals for the media,

but also with the rise of social media,

everyone has easy access to edit photos they

post online.

32
