Photography is a powerful tool of expression. It is used in all aspects of life permanently recording the world around it, as it is experienced at the moment, or captured however a photographer wants to present it. Photograph of a person or group of people that are showing expression, personality and mood created in the moment, is considered portrait photography. Depending on the type of photos, modular design, the type of lighting and many other factors, photography can be divided into different types, while this work binds into a portrait studio photography with artificial lighting. This thesis includes photography as digital portrait technique, artistic expression and psychological impact on humans and, eventually, the technical side of created photography. Light, background, the range and types of tones are the main landmarks of getting these two photographic techniques. Photographic techniques that consist of extreme tonalities, put the point of interest on a single portrait, the psychological impression of the observer and the technical characteristics of the type of technique applied, which in the process of digital processing, achieves the desired end result.
