These are some examples of portraits, I chose these photos because in my opinion they all show some form of emotion through the facial expressions, these are all also very close-up images, making them more effective at showing emotion, for example in the last image the girl seems slightly upset and if she's pleading for help as her eyes look very big and also very dark. I like these images and think they show a variety of different portrait types.
