Portrait photography
We at Chaiko & Markstedt take photographs portrait in different styles and see us as experts in professional portfolio photos/portraits and personal photos for companies as well as private customers.
Being an expert in portrait photography means being able to adapt light, angle and posing to the purpose of the image. If you think about the purpose and object of photography, you can say that there are several different categories such as: classic portraits; Child, couple or family portraits; Fine-Art portrait.
Portraits are really all pictures where the person is in focus. Each group has its own way of making it stand out, lighting and posing to emphasize its purpose.

Typer av professionella porträtt/porträttfotografering
Head shot
A Headshot is a fairly modern term for a professional portrait where only the head and shoulders are visible in photos. The term is predominantly used by professional photographers or the agency. Landscape format is probably most dominant on such portraits.
Area of use: social media, CV image, company profile.
Fine Art Portrait
Fine Art portrait photography is a concept where, with the help of props, background, lighting and editing, you try to create a painting-like image. Fine Art portraits require more preparation such as hair styling, choice of clothes and props as well as extensive editing in Adobe Photoshop, but the result is very worthwhile.

Half body portrait
Half-body portrait is a portrait where about half of the body is visible in the picture. However, it is never exactly half the body. The reason for that is that it looks completely wrong when you cut a person right in the middle. So a half cup portrait can include anything from knee to elbow height.
Such portrait can have both landscape and portrait format.
Family portrait
Family portrait is a picture of family members. However, there is a difference in family portraits. The classic family portrait is the one where everyone is standing in the same line and looking into the camera. The modern family portrait is somewhat more fun and not as rigid as the classic family portraits. In modern portraits, the focus is on posing, emotions and interactions between family members. As a result, everyone looks natural and cool.
