Portraiture:
The art of painting or taking portraits.
My own definition:
Capturing the mood or expression of an individual.
In this picture, facial expression has been used to express the feelings on the person in the portrait. It is evident that this little girl is upset and this is shown to the viewer through the use of facial expression and use of lighting, as the light is directly on the girl's face, highlighting her expression.
This picture uses a prop to portray the personality of this person. The viewer can see that she's very girly and the colour red is used repeatedly to show off her femininity. Photographers can also use prop to achieve a successful portrait as shown in this picture.
The use of make up is also present in tho portrait. However, it's used for a different reason. The colour red is used to show danger in this picture and the photographer has only captured the person's face and not the neck/shoulder to create mystery.
In this picture, the photographer has zoomed in on the person's face to show off her eyes. Make up is used to further emphasise on this feature.
