Photography 7: Portraits.

This hub is all about taking Portrait photo's with a cell phone Camera.

Portraits can be fun and beautiful, art in its own sense. Here follows some portraits that I took over a period of time and compiled this as an example.

Portraits does not only mean people but can also be bees or animals ect. Portraits are easy to take; especialy children who love to pose for a photo.

You can experiment with different angles, positions and lighting, but always remember the background is important when taking any photograph.

You can practice with any willing model. Even your mother in law!

For other uses, see Portrait (disambiguation).

A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person.

For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.

This lovely child really touched our hearts. This photo was taken at a Fun day. The young girl in the picture got her face painted by one of the other youngsters.
