Portraiture has always fascinated photographers.  While many commercial photographers earned their living recording appearances, some turned their lenses on themselves and others with surprising results.  Today portraiture – of self and or of others – yields some of the most probing images in contemporary photography.  Photographers explore humor, discomfort, intimacy, and the uncanny to photograph faces, and sometimes even souls.
