Portrait of a Groom

Even photographers have a hard time making decisions; sometimes not being able to pick a favorite. Portraits have become a dying art especially with Photojournalism. The timeless portrait, the picture that shows who someone is.  The picture of a person that family members hold on to show generation after generation.  I have thought about the reason many photographers overlook the power of a great portrait and I think it is because it takes time to develop the skills to get a great portrait. Getting the subject to open up and to be comfortable with the camera.  I believe a good portrait will always be cherished and the art of portrait photography is so important.
