Portrait photography is an art in its own right. Knowing how to grasp the emotions in the eyes, the expression of a subject and the life on a face, requires to have a keen eye and close to the subjects. In one image, the photographer tells us the story of his model.

The portrait photography then takes on another dimension and reveals all its poetry when the final shot is in black and white. The use of monochrome allows to offer a magnificent depth to the immortalized face. The expressions entered are increased tenfold and capture the gaze of the observer in the blink of an eye. Photographers play with light and contrasts to capture the subtlety of emotions. A smile, a sparkling look and the marks of time are thus frozen in a picture.

In its Premium, Adobe Stock reveals a magnificent selection of immortalized portraits in black and white where looks and faces are revealed in all their spontaneity.
