We've given the name "Special Portraits" to apply to those portraits that are difficult to categorize. Many of them fall under the category of Commercial Photography. The portraits are done for clients that need the pictures for publications like magazines, catalogues, brochures or other related items. Others are non-commercial portraits that are taken candidly while at parties, family gatherings or other events. Whatever the case, these photographs, like all our portrait photos, capture the very essense of the subject so that people can see who they really are. Remember the old adage, "A picture is worth a thousand words." In this case its true. Since many publication readers never read the words that follow these type of photos, the photos should tell them all about the person. You be the judge.
