    ::这是传统肖像风格

    People have been making portraits for a long time. A portrait is a picture that features the person or people as the main subject in the photograph.  This painting of St. Philip was made in 1516 by Albrecth Durer a German painter. If you look at some of his other paintings  you'll see examples of characteristics still common in modern portrait photography today.

    Notice how the light source is from the side of her face in the above photograph. This creates shadows and helps add depth to the image. You'll find the same technique was used in the painting of St. Philip. Also notice that the woman is not facing directly into the camera. She is turned about 45 degrees to one side. You'll also notice that the background in both images here is either blurred or is dark to focus the viewer towards the face. A busy background can detract from the subject so most portraits have soft backgrounds. These types of photographs are called traditional portraits.
    ::注意光源如何来自上张照片中她脸上的侧面。 这样可以创建阴影, 帮助放大图像的深度。 您会发现圣菲利普的绘画中也使用了同样的技术。 还要注意, 女人没有直接面对镜头。 她被翻过45度左右。 您也会注意到, 这里两张图片的背景要么是模糊的, 要么是暗淡的, 将查看器聚焦在脸部上。 一个忙碌的背景可以分散对主题的注意, 大多数肖像都有软背景。 这些类型的照片被称为传统肖像 。

    Another type of portrait photography is called  environmental portraiture .  In environmental portraits, the background and even props help tell us something about the subject. 
    ::另一类肖像摄影被称为环境肖像。 在环境肖像中,背景甚至道具有助于告诉我们关于这个主题的一些信息。
