Two broad approaches sit behind most portrait sessions: traditional, which prioritises clarity and consistency, and editorial, which goes after mood and story instead, often at the expense of a bit of that uniformity.
Traditional suits situations where the images need to look uniform or straightforwardly professional. Editorial suits situations where personality and atmosphere matter more.
Neither is objectively better. The right choice depends entirely on what the images are for, and that’s worth raising before a portrait session is booked, not after the style has already been picked for you by default.
