I have a lot of photos of family, but I don't think they qualify as a portrait. They are mainly snapshots of action. So here are three that might come close. or not! :mrgreen:

Not always some snapshots become very nice portraits. I will use my own post on page 1 for an example, all except for the butt shot were snapshots to begin with. With some cropping, dodging and burning they became portraits.
Interesting to hear your view Bushido

Is there a difference in a portrait and a snapshot of a person?
Well, for me a "snapshot" is something gotten quickly and without planning. That being said, I have seen some that were taken as "snapshots" that turned out to be very good "informal" or "environmental" portraits.
I like the definition at the beginning that basically says that a "portrait" is an image of someone or some thing.
Then portraits can be broken down into various categories: Formal (usually in a studio), Informal, Environmental, and Casual. Each has their place, and there are some who feel if it isn't a perfect "Studio Formal" that it isn't a portrait at all.
If you have a photo of a person, and it captures 'who' that person is, then IMHO it is a good portrait whether it be 'formal', 'informal', etc.......

Very nice work! Interesting effect on #1.
#2 & #3 are both very good portraits that appear to have captured something of "who" the subject really is.

The first one is a photo I took about 20 yrs ago. I found it in pretty bad shape so I scanned it into Ps and had some fun.
