Portraiture is one of the most enduring and compelling of photographic genres. Above all others, it signifies a relationship between the photographer and the subject that is not explicit in other genres. This book deals with portraiture.
What is common to all portrait photographs is a situational element. In portrait photography, the presence of the photographers gaze also becomes an integral part of what the picture is about: the activity of one person looking, manifested in a moment that can feel like the blink of an eye or a small eternity. This book offers for the first time a complete text that combines the theoretical with the practical.

Roswell Angier has enjoyed a rewarding career as both a photographer and educator. He has worked as a freelance magazine photographer, been a partner in a co-operative photographic agency in New York and is currently a faculty member at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Many of his images are held in prestigious collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Smithsonian Museum, the Addison Gallery of American Art and private collections around the world.
