A portrait is an artistic representation of a person. While the face of the subject is often predominant, this isn't always the case. A portrait can also be a full-length, showing the whole body and the environment in which the artist has placed his subject.

When shooting a portrait, my goal is to display the likeness, mood and the character of the person in front of me. Usually, the subject is still and not moving as would be the case in a lifestyle setting or in a journalistic genre.
Today, portrait photography is probably the most popular genre of photography. Who doesn't like to have a great photo of himself?
