Landscape and portrait are concepts that are of vital importance in photography, and confuse amateur photographers when they are taking photos from their cameras. Those who are professionals or are seasoned in this field know when to take a landscape or when to go for a portrait to capture a beautiful photograph.
Portrait photography produces pictures that capture the personality of a subject by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses. A portrait picture might be artistic, or it might be clinical, as part of a medical study. Frequently, portraits are commissioned for special occasions, such as weddings or school events. Portraits can serve many purposes, from usage on a personal Web site to display in the lobby of a business.
