Artistic vs. Commercial

Artistic Portrait:

















This photo is more artistic because it's very simple and natural looking. The focus is just on the subject and it shows the raw emotion on her face. It isn't advertising anything or using the subject to sell something.

Commercial Portrait:
























This portrait on the other hand, is using the subject to help sell the magazine. It is using her "fame" and "expertise in class" to convince people that the magazine will help them. By the subject looking straight into the camera, it also sucks the reader in and puts the focus on the message of the cover.
