November 14, 201411 yr The old portraits thread has been archived hence a new thread. Guidelines via Wikipedia "A portrait is a photograph of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer."

December 5, 201411 yr Celebrity portraits expose hidden character Nikos Aliagas, currently the TV host of “The Voice” in France and a well-known personality himself, loves finding the “invisible side” of celebrities and showing them at their most human. The French-Greek entertainer’s successful career as a TV and radio host and journalist has allowed him to interview hundreds of stars, including Meryl Streep, Robert Downey Jr., and Angelina Jolie. After every interview, Nikos asks to take a quick black-and-white photo. In these photos, he shows the celebrities in a whole new light. http://blog.flickr.net/en/2014/12/05/celebrity-portraits-expose-hidden-character/
