50 Magnificent Male Portraits
Over a year ago, we featured a collection of beautiful female portraits. Today, we flip the switch and showcase some striking male portraits. Hopefully they will inspire you to go out and shoot your own portrait or those of other people. Feel free to share your photos in the comments!
Portrait photography can be difficult, but very rewarding. The great thing is that you can experiment with long exposure, short exposures, different apertures, lighting and much more. In today’s roundup, I have found images from many different photographers each with very different styles, enjoy!
Before we start, you make sure you check out last year’s collection of female portraits here.

What a portrait really is:
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer. (source:wikipedia)
50% percent of your images here are not portraits.
And maybe only 10% of them I would call “magnificent”.
