Faceless Portrait

You would think that a portrait, by definition, would have to show the subject’s face? That’s certainly considered a good starting point by most photographers, but the creative photographer knows that the most interesting results often come from doing exactly the opposite of what’s expected, so for this fortnight’s theme is asking to include little, if any, of the subject’s face in the frame.

The key thing here is that we’re still trying to shoot a portrait, so you’re still trying to capture something of the character or personality of your subject, just in a slightly less obvious manner.

For me Faceless portrait is an interesting subject for me. whenever i shoot street, my eyes always keep on the person with faceless. Its fun to shoot faceless portraits.

When I saw the images mostly all peoples post the pictures like nothing link to the theme. Faceless portraits means neither cover all body with things nor silhouette of people. The change of face portion etc. are also not a good idea for faceless portrait theme. Its not even staged images which I saw in a Facebook group theme.

Faceless portraits means just cover the face with interesting objects or face gonna hide with dark side. Equation of faceless is Face+Less = Faceless.
