Fine Art Portraits
Florence Owens Thompson
In the image to the left- I love this photo because you can tell how hard this woman's life appears to be and the stress within her face and through the body language of the kids.
Steve McCurry
The image at right shows the fear and worry that is within her which you can tell by her eyes, and in addition, the overall mood is tense and slightly anxious. I love this photo because you can feel the subject's emotion.
Bazaar Magazine
I think that Lady Gaga is incredibly bold and her style reflects that. This image of her is a modest look, but yet it has a lot of character and I think it captures a calm version of Lady Gaga which is why I like it.
Essence Magazine
I love the image at right because it makes it look like Tyra Banks is happy and confident, and it overall has a cheerful and positive mood.
The difference between an editorial portrait and a fine arts portrait is with the fine arts portrait it is up to you to decide the mood and feel of the image, as well as what the photographer was trying to portray. Where as in an editorial image, it is very staged, and the headlines, words and phrases almost determine what you should make of the image, because the image is a reflection of the content of the magazine.
