A portrait is a painting, photograph,
sculpture, or other artistic representation 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.
Portraiture - A painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders
I like this image because you can see the emotion of the little girl's face. This makes us think deeper into why she may be pulling this face etc. I like the dark background because it reflects her emotion.
This image does meet our standards of a poetical/war hero because the expression on his face looks grumpy. Stereotypically as a prime minister (which he was during World War II), you would think of them as harsh and powerful. The dark and harsh lighting really brings out the masculinity and dominating look that he wished to portray to the wider population.
This image represents femininity through extreme makeup such as the big lips and heavy eye makeup. This woman is transgender and has aimed to represent Marilyn Monroe. This image in general is fairly extreme and the way that she is laying against the leopard print background is eccentric. This could portray being comfortable within your own skin and expressing who you are which may be important to this individual due to being transgender.
