Just what is it that brings out the voyeur in us? Several thousand U~S. professional portrait photographers say it's look at Ö well, us! Or, rather, at people who look a lot like us. People are insatiably curious about other members of the human race. What do they look like, where do they work, how do they think, act, and feel about a wide range of subjects? Our fascination with others is precisely what makes portrait photography such an enduring-and endearing-art. Picture for a moment two young men in worn T-shirts and jeans. They're leaning back in chairs propped against the wall of a ramshackle wooden cottage deep in the Louisiana bayou. Take in their expressions, then look around at the rest of the scene. The weathered, battered, aged wood of the building. the empty Coke bottles at their feet. the scrawny tom cat napping on the porch. It's a visually exciting portrait-sometimes called an environmental or documentary portrait because it tells more about the subjects than expression, alone, could reveal. It includes a piece of the subjects' lives; it documents the way in which they live. |
