## Resource

Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat! The Wikipedia definition of a portrait is 125 words long. As you read it, it weirdly seems to get narrower rather than explaining multiple aspects of what portraiture means. So we take some time this week to share our thoughts and ideas on portraiture, what it means to us, to the subjects and to the viewer. We share some of our own portraits which you can see here in our TFOP album. We also answer the critical question of whether or not a photo of a sleeping dog can be a portrait? Or does it have to be a cat?
