No matter the type, a portrait tells a subject's story by accurately portraying their personality and character through lighting, composition, setting, props, and posing.

Classic Portraits
The classic, traditional portrait highlights a single individual. These are often more formal shots, placing the emphasis on the subject's most authentic self.
Business/corporate Portraits
Whether for individual professionals or companies desiring team headshots, business portraits are critical for branding and building trust amongst clientele, peers, and potential employers.
Family/Group Portraits
Celebrating the bond between family, friends, and co-workers, group photos visually portray the dynamic between the members of the group in question, while simultaneously capturing the essence of each individual.
Editorial Portraits
Whether supplemented by text or not, editorial photography presents a narrative focusing on the subject. In the example below, I took editorial portraits of Formula Drift competitor, Matt Field, at his garage workspace in Morgan Hill, California, telling the story of the grueling, tedious work he is required to put in between his time on the race track.
Conceptual/Creative Portraits
The conceptual portrait is where the photographer and the subject get to collaborate more directly to communicate abstract ideas and feelings. These portraits allow the subject to display exaggerated aspects of their personality or step into different characters altogether.
