emotive portraits: the introduction

there are many genre of portrait photography or perhaps, in other words, there are different "style" of portraiture...

there is the classic/ "traditional" portrait style where blackproject believes its mainly due to the time when cameras were invented, the camera required long exposure time and the subject often required to "hold still" up to minutes... or longer, correct if it's inaccurate. hence, boring boring boring photos?....
obviously there are many many more factors that influenced the form classic portrait photography has become and all it's sub genre/style.

but shall we not discuss it here.

this post is merely an introduction, a reinterpretation of portrait photography as a genre/style and so on. wait not even, it's just a rant!..:P
it is by no means academically accurate.

anyway, the blackproject's interest in portrait photography:
1. to be natural as possible
2. to draw real emotions from the subject 3. to capture a state of comfort
4. to be fun
5. alot of fun
6. enjoyable!
7. yay! do not be a tart!
8. natural beauty is always the best: accept who you are, as it is, and what you are.







easy said than done! sometimes personality clash with the photographer and the subject could create an unpleasant result. it is always very important for the photographer and the subject/client/ customer to get along, not mere diplomatic/ money-related/ "professionalism" manner, it will show (in the photographs) again - the blackproject only engage in "real photos"

eh, real in terms of being at a state where both parties feel a positive bonding, they get along, they feel like "friends", they don't feel intimidated, there is trust..... etc.... get the idea?

anyway, portraiture for sale for sale! :P

if you have a interesting project involving portraits, do let the blackproject know, we could work together and create something with fun fun fun.....

out....
