Expressive Portraiture
© 2009 Wazari Wazir | Portrait Photography | Expressive Portraiture Portrait photography or portraiture is the capture by means of photography of the likeness of a person or a small group of people (a group portrait), in which the face and expression is predominant.

Just like the picture of A. Samad Said our National Laureate above. Let’s get straight to the point here, I use Screen blending mode here, simply because if I use Soft Light blending mode like I always do, the texture will not “Touch” the black area, meaning the black will remain black. If you don’t believe me, try it, use Screen blending option if you want to blend a texture into…
