"Portraiture is one of the greatest challenges in photography, because the human face is elusive and often mask-like, with practiced expressions for the standard range of emotions. Some photographers accept these preset expressions - think of annual-report portraits of corporate officers - others try to eliminate expression altogether, to get a picture as neutral as a wanted poster." Smithsonian October 2006 by Owen Edwards I have tried to show the individual with their mask off as their true self.
