Portraiture is when a photographer takes a picture of a person, usually from the shoulders up, as shown in the above photographs. When looking at portraitures images it is apparent that the photographer looks closely at form to create shape and depth of the ace, as well as lines and small details to make sure they are noticeable of not noticeable in some cases. With portraiture, if it is of the front of someones face the main focus would be the eyes as its near the centre of the face and that where the focus mainly is during a conversation with someone, this is why some portraiture photographers use the back of a persons head rather than the front so the focus is on the background as well as the person. In the third photograph we can see the back of a person head against a plain background. The use of the plain background stops any attention being drawn away from the details of the person like their earring and nape piercing. As well as this it makes the different tones of the persons head more noticeable as they contrast with the lighter tones of the background.
