Portrait photography is another beautiful type of photography in which face and expressions are prime. Portrait photography mainly used to show various expressions of face. Most of the portrait photographs contain only face directly looking in camera. A portrait is normally not a snap, but a composed image of someone in a still position.
There are few types of portrait photography like constructionist, environmental, candid and few other creative approaches. Capturing professional portrait requires perfect composition of lighting. There are many ways to light a subject’s face with several lighting plans like Three-Point Lighting, Butterfly lighting etc.

“There’s a discipline. When you take someone’s portrait, you don’t have to take 50 photographs, just find that one so that when you release the shutter, that’s the image that you took.”
-Matthew Modine

I like all the black and white ones the best ! especially the old man pic , coz there is always this contouring in the old images that makes it stand out from the rest .
Are they pure snaps or are they airbrushed after clicking ?
Yes Rohan most of them are real snaps without editing, but can’t guarantee after all you have to contact real author if you have doubt.
classic portraits………..!
These are very inspirational!
These are gorgeous indeed. Amazing captures of different human expressions!
I think you should give some more resources all you gave is 1x.com if you are giving example of portrait why didnt you insert from some other sites too. I can go on 1x.com and can explore that site so do you think that I will see rest of images again?
Hi Gagan,
yes I agree that all photographs are from 1x. Because I saw many mind blowing photographs captured by talented photographers on 1x and that’s why it was really hard to miss few of them for just adding photos from other sites.
Yes we always try to some-up all stuff from all around the net, besides we can always expect to see the others in future compilations , not like this one is the last.
Great photograph selections, Raj!
Pleased to know that, thanks for dropping by!
Wow! Suraj, these are phenomenally beautiful shots. From the first photo, I said, “Wow, this is my favorite,” and with each shot I think I said the same thing and meant it every time!
Portraits and I have a dubious relationship; I always want one, but I’m always hesitant to sit for one.
