Portrait photography is incredibly powerful. Happy, sad or serious; portraitures have proven to be one of the most engaging genres of imagery.
It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.

Everybody needs a hero image. Portraits fulfil this need while drawing your audience in to convey an emotion that is often difficult to achieve without an expressive face.
People like to empathise, so if you think about an article with an emotive message, the thumbnail will often show a serious face to try and stop the reader in their tracks.
Choosing the right image is crucial. And you can’t go wrong with a strong, engaging portrait photo. Check out our model-released Powerful Portraiture collection showcasing the best of hero images.
