Portraiture

Application:

- A portrait is a picture of somebodys face but it may also some times have there whole body in the picture. A portrait shows you who the person in the picture really is.

- People get portraits of themselfs to show people that they have a sence of power in the photo, the people will always dress up in the photo to show this, when normally they do not dress in that way.

- The artist that takes the photo in a portrait can get the photo that they want of you, and to show the people who see the photo who you really are.

Contexts:

- You will see a portit in every day life because the Queens head is on all money & stamps.

- On the other hand a Portrait is used in every day life still because it is on Passports, ID cards.

Technequies:

- Some people pose when they have the pictures taken, but other just don't pose at all,
people also try to make them selfs look more important and respected for example the French King who was on a horse when he had his portraite taken.

- Some other technequies are where photo's are make in a set studio where the photo is taken exactly how they want it & another way is were there is no set, the photo is just taken when you think it is a good time to take it.
