Although formal portrait photography is still a big business the focus has changed gradually as people have abandoned the imitation of painting for a more documentary look.
Many early photographers were heavily influenced by historical 'fine art' and sought to supply less expensive alternatives to paintings for their more middle class clients.
It is more the norm now to take portraits in situ - and much more relaxing and character driven.

Thank you for the encouragement.
I find children are very natural and unselfconscious. People learn 'the pose' very early in their relationship with cameras - and find it difficult to overcome. Candid portraits are so much more revealing and connecting.
