The study sets out aims and objectives, then applies a methodology and literary review before tracing portrait photography across historical eras, including archival work from the Carisbrooke Castle Museum. It analyses post-war portrait practices, considers female poses, and extends the discussion to contemporary photography influenced by social media, including selfies. Interviews and ethical approval underpin the analysis.","Master’s Dissertation  \nHow is Pose used in Photographic Portraits?  \nBy  \nMichael Osborne  \nSouthampton Solent 2020  \nContents  \nList of Figures and Tables..........................................................................................................3  \nIntroduction ................................................................................................................................5  \nChapter One: Aims and Objectives............................................................................................7  \nChapter Two: Methodology .......................................................................................................8  \nChapter Three: Literary Review .............................................................................................. 11  \nChapter Four: Portrait Photography in a Historical Context ................................................... 15  \nChapter Five: Portrait Photography from the Carisbrooke Castle Museum Archive ..............21  \nChapter Six: Post-War Portrait Photography and Female Poses .............................................30  \nRichard Avedon ...................................................................................................................36  \nThe Gaze ..............................................................................................................................42  \nChapter Seven: Contemporary Photography and Social Media ..............................................45  \nSocial Media ........................................................................................................................47  \nSelfies...................................................................................................................................52  \nRineke Dijkstra ....................................................................................................................55  \nChapter Eight: Finding Representation in Portraits .................................................................63  \nConclusion ...............................................................................................................................69  \nImage References:....................................................................................................................71  \nBibliography ............................................................................................................................73  \nAppendices...............................................................................................................................78  \nAppendix 1: University Ethics Form ...................................................................................78  \nAppendix 2: Content Analysis from Carisbrooke Castle Museum Archive........................79  \nAppendix 3: Email interview with photographer Jason Alden ............................................81  \nAppendix 4: Email interview with photographer Clare Hewitt ...........................................84  \nList of Figures and Tables  \nFigure 1: Portrait by Clare Hewitt .............................................................................................9  \nFigure 2: Hidden Mother by W.U.
