>>3111322>What is portraiture beyond a picture of a person?Wrong question:
What use is placing a dividing line at "subject is person"?
If that's a useless distinction and other far more useful distinctions exist, why are we using the useless one?
Next up, what is subject? Is this man the subject of this photo? What exactly is the relationship between abstract and contextual symbolism and the concrete visuals we get in a photograph, especially in regard to the subject and how exactly does this inform us of the greater genre in which we classify a given work in a post hoc analysis?
