Portrait Photography Portrait Photography There are different types of photographic portraits. Traditional portraits are usually head and shoulder shots with the subject smiling into the camera. Personality portraits dig a little deeper into the soul of your subject and reveal the character of the person. The background or foreground may or may not be an important aspect of the image. Lastly, environmental portraits reveal the subject’s profession, vocation, hobby or passion. The environment surrounding the subject is a key element in the photograph.
