The Difference Between a Portrait and a Headshot in Photography

 PORTRAIT

  • A portrait is a broader category of photography that captures the likeness of a person or group, often including the upper body, full body, or background elements that provide context or tell a story.
  • Portraits can convey a range of emotions and are often styled in a specific way to reflect the personality or character of the subject.
  • They may include props, elaborate backgrounds, and creative lighting techniques, allowing for artistic expression.

 

HEADSHOT

  • A headshot is a type of portrait that focuses specifically on the head and shoulders of an individual.
  • The primary purpose of a headshot is to provide a professional representation of the subject, often used in business, acting, or social media profiles.
  • Headshots are typically more straightforward and neutral, with minimal distractions, emphasizing the subject's face.
