Article A Portrait

To me a portrait is capturing the moment of the emotion of facial expression. Its not really focusing on everything else but the face. In the article the artist decided to shoot them with water because she thought i was an intimate moment. She also discussed about the difference of a snapshot and a portrait and she said the difference was a snapshot is someone posing and a portrait is very natural. Also the lighting is very different in a portrait you have to let the light come natural like from a window or door. A portrait is also capturing the essence of that person because they are not posing and looking at the camera but instead they are themselves and just being natural like if you were'nt even there taking the picture.
