BASIC TYPES OF PHOTO-SHOOTS
• 

Lifestyle
The term Lifestyle Portrait refers to
portraits where emphasis is given to
suggest the “style of living” of the
individuals depicted. Technically it
is a combination of environmental
portrait and candid portrait. More
weight is given to communicate
the feeling of life experience of the
subject. Style has numerous
implications in commercial and fine
art photography. Editorial, fashion,
pharmaceutical, and food
industries often use lifestyle images
to evoke emotions in viewers by
depiction of desired life styles. It is
common to see this style used in
wedding and family portrait
photography as well.

Surreal Portrait
Surreal Portraits are created
to emphasize the other
reality. A depiction of a
person’s interpreted
subconscious mind.
Surrealism is an art
movement started in the
early 1920‘s and still alive and
well. In photography tricks
and special effects are used
to achieve a surreal look..
