intimate portraits

Close, revealing images

Intimate portraits are photographs or paintings that reveal something personal about the subject—vulnerability, unguarded emotion, or private character.

The intimacy may come from physical closeness, revealing poses, or simply the sense that viewer and subject share a private moment: The exhibit featured intimate portraits of the artist's family.

The phrase sometimes euphemistically describes nude or semi-nude photography.
