Traditionally, portraiture has been about recording people’s personal history.
Portraits have been used to celebrate anniversaries and personal milestones in people’s lives.
Environmental portraits provide context and reveal much more about their subject.
Today’s portrait has further expanded its means of expression and form.
Contemporary portraiture elevates not only the individual but also the whole of life and its phenomena, observing human actions and their consequences—both within the framework of our environment and mental landscapes.
Portraiture lives on.
