A Photographer's Diary - Portrait Photography As The Most Popular In 2025
We are at the very end of December of the current year, in the period when all current affairs are completed, the impressions and results of the whole year are summarized. As each year has its own story, the year that we are slowly seeing off was marked by a handful of events and challenges, the entire turbulent atmosphere in society that inevitably affected both personal and business plans. It was necessary to maneuver, to move forward. Thus, in the diary of a photographer, one comes across many written pages of scheduled various shootings that certainly reflect the pace and situation. Inquiries for certain photography topics were unfortunately noticeably reduced, while some were in high demand. Accordingly, by reviewing the diaries from the beginning to the end of the year, the most requested queries for the year 2025 are related to portrait photography. Classic portraits, business portraits, group portraits and family photos alternate, thus generating this year's theme - human image. ☺️
Portrait photography - beauty is in each of us, undoubtedly, believe me. Those eyes and facial features, look and body language, it all tells about us. And there is no such well-known term "unphotogenic", at least not for that magical box that, with the help of optics, selects and takes, "steals" the best for composing a representative image of our personality.
Business portraits - serious or with a smile, photographed on a light or dark background, in a photo studio or business space, in a chosen corner, present the business side of the person portrayed, his work biography - CV. They strive to radiate skill, casualness, professionalism, open-mindedness, collegiality - everything that a true business portrait should possess. It is a picture of our education, work experience and entire business, which in modern times aims to market successful work biographies, interviews, web presentations and profiles on social networks - it is our mirror and self-presentation.
Corporate photography - as a segment of business portraits, strives to present our business in a working environment and team atmosphere, thereby emphasizing one of the important business traits that should be possessed - team spirit.
Group portraits - oh, that love - love, amour, liebe, amar and so on, as many words as there are languages in the world, but with the same meaning. It is attention, compassion, support, mutual emotions that are a real treasure and blessing - it is one of the presentations of the many relationships we go through during our lives.
Family photography - woven from several characters, full of emotions and gestures, and all of that woven into one story, a story about the wealth called family, that small or big shelter of the most valuable that is the basis of everything from which life is woven. It is given to us at birth, later we create it ourselves, and thus play the biggest roles in life, as mother or father, son or daughter, brother or sister, grandmother or grandfather, grandson or granddaughter - it is of inestimable value.
Is this how we turned to ourselves and our loved ones this year? Analyzed and worked on character building? These are questions that can have multiple meanings, and are definitely worth paying attention to. And each one is a great contribution to the development and continuation of portrait photography, which throughout the history of art has always attracted significant interest and gained in value.
Portrait photography is an exciting and mystical game that can lead to unique images - I always respond with delight! ❤️
