Faces, strong emotions with stark stories. A Portrait should more or less convey the character and mood of the person and a good portrait will always make you deliberately look at it again. In this post of ours, I wanted to carefully pick an elegant list of mind-blowing photographs which would be unimaginable and hard to digest for the story it keeps chanting and the emotions it makes you travel within.

This list is such a one and takes some time to surrender yourself to these fine portraits. All photos are linked and lead to the sources from which they were taken. Please feel free to explore further works of these photographers on their collections or their personal sites.
