PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY OR PORTRAITURE IS PHOTOGRAPHY OF A PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT DISPLAYS THE EXPRESSION, PERSONALITY, AND MOOD OF THE SUBJECT. LIKE OTHER TYPES OF PORTRAITURE, THE FOCUS OF THE PHOTOGRAPH IS USUALLY THE PERSON'S FACE, ALTHOUGH THE ENTIRE BODY AND THE BACKGROUND OR CONTEXT MAY BE INCLUDED.
