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.

I loved this video. Personally im working on a portrait series giving realism or a face to mental illness. My plan is to cover every mental illness. I started with depression and suicide. This shot was really successful and deep. My second is schizophrenia. Then I will continue from there on. Thank you for sharing this video very inspiring.Frank
Francisco Ortega how is this going.?
I came for info and i got almost to tears by the story
Nice video, thanks
Enjoyable as ever. Thank you!
3:29 Thank me later.
Wow i love this video
Finally a video showing real artistry from amazing creators. Those images stay with you as you watch them
first. Lol
Wow, as the saying goes "nothing new under the sun". I find so many similarities to an article I wrote recently on portrait photography mirchevphotography.com/photography-blog/the-essence-of-portrait-photography/
Very good video but just one thing, the music that starts around 5:20 is definitely not "Arrival of the Birds" by Lara Bartlett. I mean sure Lara posted this on her soundcloud but she does not mention that it's in fact "Saturn Strobe" by Pantha du Prince. Not cool.
I feel like the 'selfie' should have been included in the history? Maybe that would have distracted from the mystique of the piece as a whole.
Any one know what that shark tooth patterned object between the camera and the subject seen at 1:20 is??
Could it be something for portraits to make some type of vignette?
This is absolutely beautiful.
Great video. The constructed family is trippy!!
If you guys want to look further into portraiture i highly recommend Benoit Pallie's 'stranger' project.
As a student in Photography and an aspiring portrait photographer; I loved this and wished it went more in depth with greater explanations not just the thoughts of these great artists.
cool
5:49, beatiful
I dont know. What are you? What are we really?
incredible and valuable. thank you
Who does the guy with the glasses remind me of?
Fucking loved this. 4:15, super fascinating concept.
Beautiful video on portrait photography
Is that Dustin Browder sword swallowing?
"I wanted to give him the power over his image."
That was neat.
Excelente video, gracias.
Subscribed !! Great video and content
Good use of Captain America Font!
I really liked the constructed families series.
wrong Egyptians were not the first Assyrians were, you're welcome
Wilson R congrats?
Photography today is all about gimmicks. Everything is based on some drunken conversation "wouldn't it be neat if we did X?", then adding some kind of self-serving explanation after the fact to make it seem meaningful. And, of course, that's where it should stay - as an idea floating in the bottom of a beer can.
draws you in right? haha I also love it
Very interesting... Bravo
good
Thank you. This was thoughtful and inspiring
just beautiful and inspiring
I wish they had some crappy portraits from the 70's and 80's inserted.
aweso0o0o0o0me
What?
My least favourite type of portraiture is the type Matt Hoyle creates. The usual glossy, slick, sickly, over produced texture to them. This is about as dishonest as photography gets, next to fashion mags. I don't think he captures the essence of anybody, all of it is lost in the Photoshop/Lightroom phase. Blech.
2:10 - Damn, that vocal fry! Can't listen to her.
Photography is not art.
You are incorrect.
Photography is art. But when compared to the amount of artistic freedom you have from drawing on paper, then I guess you could say it isn't art. Though you can look at it this way, photography can be an introduction to things that you consider art.
I love the music in these videos...
