Some time ago I posted a shot and asked if it was a portrait. Some long discussion ensued as to whether a portrait should be posed or not. Well, this is (I think) a portrait that was not posed, it was an informal snap.
Sorry, as a non-photographer I can't give details of apeture etc. All I can say is that it was taken wth my first digital camera, an Olympus 5050.
Delightfully attractive woman.
With that being written, this photograph constitutes a portrait. It doesn’t need a specific pose , lighting, shading or even a Unique angle or pitch. When a portrait appears natural it lends itself to that photographer placing the subject at ease. This is true talent.
