The Art of Portrait Photography
PBS Off Book has an interesting video about portrait photography.
Humans have been creating likenesses of each other for thousands of years, but with the introduction of photography, a new language
developed for capturing the human image. Photography created opportunities for not just for biography and documentation, but also
depth, empathy, and experimentation. Many portrait photographers today elevate their work from mere photo to art, communicating ideas and capturing the human subject with dignity, all while exploring the meaning and potential of portraiture.
