In my opinion, a Fine Portrait is a photograph that accurately represents the subject, while simultaneously showing off the photographer's prowess and skill. The picture needs to capture as much essence as it can over the subject, be aesthetically pleasing, and not be "overdoing" it.
Christopher Walken by Richard Avedon
Frank Ocean by Fader
I like both these portraits because they very skillfully demonstrate exactly what both men look like. The Christopher Walken photograph shows a more stoic expression, but with much more deeper and meaningful connotation. The Frank Ocean portrait gives a tiny hit towards his cool t shirt, which I like a lot about that picture.
