The medium being used here is a portraiture of Paul Cezanne . There is a human present and that human is Cezanne. It is an oil painting because in this painting much detail is being depicted and it has more smoother strokes.  His face is in 3/4 view with his gaze at the viewer. This is a bust length portrait as well, because it goes to the top of his chest. 

Self Portrait

This is a self portrait of myself. I feel in this photo that it is a very serious photo. I am looking into the camera, not meanly, but in a somber tone. I am in my dorm room around my bed post, so it's very intimate in a sense. There is a deeper sense of intimacy because of the pose and the expression of the face and the idea of it being inside of a dorm room. The lighting helps that as well, obviously there is some thought going on in this photograph and/or portrait.

Contact : This one has contact to me because it is showing more intense emotion. You would look at this image and go "whats wrong?" or thats so sad. It displays a lot of energy. it zeros you in and makes you begin to question whats going on.

No contact: This one has no contact because he has a blank stare. There is nothing going on in this picture. It doesn't really draw you in. Not a lot of energy going in this picture. And also it doesnt cause you to question "whats going on" in this picture.

The definition of a portrait in my own eyes is anything that represents a person. It can include certain things such as the person and objects that represents what they are or what they enjoy doing. (Portraiture 25). Also, anything that captures the gist of a person's personality is a portait in my eyes. This could include a painting of them, a photograph, etc. A portrait is also  anything that "engages the identity of the sitter represented" (Portraiture 29). Even the way you position the person being represented can tell the viewer something about their personality or status.
