Portraiture is the tradition and practice of creating a likeness in a pose and setting that conveys a sense of their overall personality and station more than any one photograph can convey. Traditionalists, differenciate a "head painting" from a portrait in that a portrait is less journalistic and more designed, as well as that a portrait includes the subject's hands.
