Photo San Diego

A portrait is a photograph (portrait photography), 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. Please inquire for more details Here

Portrait photograph of Thomas Dilward by Mathew Brady.
Since the dawn of photography, people have made portraits. Studios sprang up in cities around the world, some cranking out more than 500 plates a day. The style of these early works reflected the technical challenges associated with 30-second exposure times and the painterly aesthetic of the time.The popularity of the daguerreotype in the middle of the 19th century was due in large part to the demand for inexpensive portraiture. Subjects were generally seated against plain backgrounds and lit with the soft light of an overhead window and whatever else could be reflected with mirrors.
