Photography can capture a moment in a person’s life, instantly capturing his sadness, joy, and thoughtfulness. And it is impossible not to rejoice that humanity has invented technology that leaves for us a piece of material memory. But before the advent of cameras, creating a portrait of a person took much more time and effort, as well as painstaking skill, skill and soul. Today, artists are improving their techniques, trying to make portraits as realistic as possible.
