Studio portraiture is a type of photography that focuses on capturing the likeness and personality of a subject in a controlled environment, typically a photography studio. This setting allows for the use of professional lighting, backdrops, and props to enhance the overall composition. The goal is to create a flattering and artistic representation of the subject, whether it's an individual, family, or group. In studio portraiture, photographers often use techniques such as posing and lighting adjustments to highlight the subject's features. Common styles include traditional portraits, environmental portraits, and creative conceptual shots. This genre is popular for personal keepsakes, professional headshots, and artistic expression.
