About Portraits....

On the topic of Portraits, they are a deep form of someone's picture. They aren't like a snapshot where your chilling with your friends in a picture and having a great time, maybe even posing everyone and thenk taking a picture. +click+ No. A Portrait is alot deeper than that. It has meaning. When you take someone's portrait, your supposed to see and feel their emotion in the picture. Your supposed to see how they are feeling, in their eyes and in there face and posture. Let it be natural. When It' sposed, it's not as emotionally satifying as it should be. You don't get the sense that you know the person on a higher level, even is that person is a complete stranger to you. When your able to look at a portrait and are able to get inside the person's soul able to see that they are hurting or happy, it's truly incredible. If you havn't noticed, the word "portrait" has the word "Trait" in it. To me that means that you should be able to read someone's traitsor emotions from their portrait. Maybe that isn't the case every portrait, but thats what it means to me.
