Portrait photography can be defined in simple terms as a photo of a person or group of people. But that’s not to say that all photos of people should be considered portraits.

A true portrait also portrays the personality of the subject. It tells a story about their environment, their profession, their culture, or how they’re feeling in that particular time and place.

A portrait is all about the person or people in the photograph and anything else in the frame is there to help tell their story.

Take pictures of a person or animal.
Take pictures of your friends, teachers, or others.

It's always a good idea to see how other photographers work. While you do not want to copy a style or image, you can get a lot of ideas and inspiration by observing the work of others.
