Portrait photography

Photography that captures the essence of a person through careful attention to light, expression, and psychological presence rather than mere likeness, creating an image that reveals something true about who they are. Portrait photography at its best functions as visual empathy, requiring the photographer to see the subject clearly while remaining invisible enough to let that clarity emerge.
