What is Portraiture Photography?
When you think of portraiture, what comes to your mind? Beautiful, timeless photos that capture a moment in time and preserve memories forever? That’s precisely what portraiture photography is all about! It’s the art of capturing moments through the lens of a camera, creating beautiful images that will last a lifetime. Let’s dive into what makes portraiture so unique.
The Art of Portraiture
Portraiture is an art form that goes beyond just taking a photo. It’s about capturing emotion, personality and mood. A good portrait photographer can bring out the best features in their subject and make them look as natural as possible. They will also be able to play with lighting and angles to create stunning visuals that are sure to draw attention.

The Best Times for Portraits
while using natural light, many portrait photographers prefer shooting during golden hour—the hour before sunset/ after sunrise when the sun casts a beautiful golden hue on everything around it. This type of light is perfect for creating captivating images with a dreamy feel. Golden hour is fantastic, but we shouldn't underestimate the excellent natural soft box (the sky on cloudy days) either. Personally, I am a big fan of photographing on cloudy days! On the other hand, using our creativity, we can also capture amazing shots in different weather conditions, such as foggy or rainy days too.
