The Art of Portrait Photography by PBS Arts: Off Book focuses on the dynamic relationship between the photographer, the subject, and the audience and how that relationship has evolved over time. Photographers Matt Hoyle, Bex Finch, Jamie Diamond, and Ethan Levitas give us their insight on portraiture and why it is important to not only them, but to us as human beings. Portrait photography has evolved over the years from simply documenting an object to now becoming works of art. It’s more then just taking pictures – it’s about capturing reality, so check out the video and see what portraiture means to these photographers.
