PORTRAITS CONCEPTUELS

 

Conceptual portraiture is about establishing an open dialogue with the photographed were she’s no longer a passive entity. The traditional observer-subject power relationship is upended to form a collaboration in which the person in front of the lens actively collaborates with the photographer to create a powerful representation of self.

Conceptual portrait goes beyond the eye, it compels the mind and the heart’s gazes in an attempt to fulfill the impossible task of creating a full portrait of a person in a blink-eye moment.
