Portrait Photography

As I am going to do a portrait photography project I will look at the different styles and aspects of portraiture. I will look at the two main styles; candid and posed. For candid photography I will look at the work of photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Brassai who are two of the most renowned photographers of this genre. For posed photography I will look at some contemporary photographers such as Tom Barnes and Yousuf Karsh, who have two very different styles and approaches to this aspect of portraiture.
