Entries of the Week: portraiture special
1 year ago
We theme this week's Entries of the Week and look at seven striking portraits submitted recently into the Sony World Photography Awards Open competition
The most memorable portraits in photography's history have revealed the qualities of the sitter. Be it beauty, power, or even a secretive quality, a good portrait image invites the viewer to look closer at the image and gain a deeper understanding of the person being photographed. From studio to candid, lifestyle to fine art, and self-portraits too, a huge range are submitted into the Sony World Photography Awards.
