Portrait photography

Portrait photography is the art of visually presenting a person or persons in an appealing and presentable manner.

Portrait as a very long history and has been around since the invention of photography..

This category differs from studio photography or photojournalism, which may include people, because its sole purpose is to capture the likeness of a person or a small group of people, typically in a flattering manner. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of photograph is the person's face, although the entire body and the background may be included. Many people enjoy having professionally made family portraits to hang in their homes, or special portraits to commemorate certain events, such as graduations or weddings.
