In your posts you will need to discuss the journey that Portraiture has taken over its' history. For example the movement from Rich and Powerful people having expensive portraits made for them to the works of Portraiture photographers depicting the inner conflicts and catching their subjects in moments when they are least prepared.
After Vaccaro got discharged from his regiment he stayed in Germany to do photography for a newspaper. A lot of his war photography was never properly seen as it was damaged out in the harsh conditions in combat. Vaccaro even devoloped his own negatives on the battlefield too also the frustration of getting all the negatives done in a helmet finally paid off.
This image to the right is an image of a German soldier returning home from war to find out that his home has been blown to pieces and his family have gone too from either death or gotten out of the country.
