Portraiture can mean many things. A portrait is a likeness -
does it have to be of a human ? A portrait of an animal, or a
car, is just as acceptable.
I like to try and vary my portraits, whether of people, or
less animate objects. The possibilities are endless, but if
you are commissioned to produce a portrait, it is probably
better to stick to the more accepted methods of posing or
lighting.
I have also tended to keep clear of wide angle portraiture.
I`ve never been convinced that some of the grotesque close shots
that I`ve seen with wide angles had any merit at all - but
everyone to their own.
I tend to shot both types of shot during a session - those
meant to please the sitter, and those meant to please me. Not
necessarily the same !
