Portraiture 
1. Traditional 



Face is the predominant element, face is the main focus and it should be at least some representation of who the person is.

2. Environmental 



Person is portrayed in their natural environment, surroundings are used to place emphasis on the person's personality

3. Candid Portrait 

\
Picture is taken in the subject's environment without the subject's recognition


4. Glamour Portrait 




Glamour portraits place emphasis on the attractive, romantic appeal side of the subject.

5. Lifestyle




Emphasis is given onto the subject's way that they live their life. It's a combination of environmental and candid portrait photography

6. Surreal Portrait



A surreal portrait is made to put emphasis on an alternate reality that the subject faces, and is made to be a representation of the unconscious mind 

7. Conceptual portrait




It is the job of the viewer to decide how they interpret the photograph, and it is frowned upon and even sometimes offensive to ask the photographer what they were trying to capture in the photograph

9. Abstract Portrait




Abstract portraits are created with the purpose of creating art and manipulation to change a photo and make it creative

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed affects photographs paired with aperture to affect how much light a camera absorbs in a certain amount of time. The more time you allow the lens to absorb and process light, the more light goes into the final image

In this post Lyndzee Ellsworth (see their blog at epblog.net) shares some images from a shoot to show what impact shutter speed can have on images.

Starting with the first photo, I set the shutter speed for a 15 sec exposure (which on your camera should look like 15”). With the shutter open for 15 seconds, all of the light that the lens can capture in that 15 seconds is recorded and processed. By the photo below you can tell that 15 seconds was too much, so I changed it to 10, then 8 and then finally landed on 5 seconds to achieve what in my eye was the best shot.

Shutter speed can be utilized to capture moving subjects more easily.

The same rule can be used to get the opposite effect. If the shutter speed is set slow, photos can either blur or drag light for the desired effect.
