Portrait photography, or portraiture, is a type of photography aimed toward capturing the personality of a person or group of people by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses. A portrait photograph may be artistic or clinical.

Remember, portraits aren’t candid photos taken at will; rather, they are carefully planned and structured images designed to convey the core characteristics of the subject. Portrait photography involves four types of approaches: environmental, constructionist, candid, and creative.

Here are some other examples:

Environmental Portraits. 
Candid and Street Portraits.
Glamour & Boudoir Photography.
Fine Art Portraits.
Conceptual Portraits.
Surreal Portraits.
