Portraiture Image Bank

PORTRAITURE IMAGE BANK 

I like this portrait image as it reflects a happy childhood. The young girls emotion is prominent through her smile which results in a very effective photograph. I also really like the detail of the face as one of the main focus' is the girls freckles.  

This photo could possibly show the issue of homelessness as the man in the image looks very tired and drained of life. As the viewer we can see pain through his expression and a lack of happiness, this connects to the viewer as we feel sympathy for him. 

This photograph interests me because I can see a story behind it. The man looks very distant from the camera and slightly upset which could show the emotion from an event that happened before the photograph. We can tell from his hat that he looks like an army man or a firefighter which could explain a traumatic experience.

This photo is almost like documentary as it appears to be an image of a man who is working. From his clothes and background I can tell he is a fishmonger. I like the fact that the photo shows slightly who the man is, to me this is the purpose of portraiture. 

This image has a very happy vibe to it as the man in the photo looks very pleased and like he is enjoying himself. This photo is very well composed as although it is still portraiture it has not been set up, it shows a natural situation but still show the features of the mans face.
