• Several key forms of gaze can be identified
• the spectators gaze the gaze of the viewer at
  an image of a person
• the intra-diegetic gaze a gaze of one depicted
  person at another (or at an animal or an object)
  within the world of the image
• the direct address to the viewer the gaze of a
  person depicted in the image looking out of the
  frame as if at the viewer
• the look of the camera - the way that the camera
  itself appears to look at the people less
  metaphorically, the gaze of the photographer.

• In addition, there are several other types of
  gaze which are less often mentioned
• the gaze of a bystander - outside the world of
  the image, the gaze of another individual
  watching the spectator in the act of viewing.
  Have you ever watched someone in a museum?
• the averted gaze - a depicted persons
  noticeable avoidance of the gaze of another, or
  of the camera lens or artist (and thus of the
  viewer) - this may involve looking up, looking
  down or looking away
• the gaze of an audience within the text -
  certain kinds of popular televisual texts (such
  as game shows) often include shots of an audience
  watching those performing in the 'text within a
  text'

• It is useful to note how directly a depicted
  person gazes out of the frame. A number of
  authors have explored this issue in relation to
  advertisements in particular.
• In his study of womens magazine advertisements,
  Trevor Millum distinguished between these forms
  of attention
• attention directed towards other people
• attention directed to an object
• attention directed to oneself
• attention directed to the reader/camera
• attention directed into middle distance, as in a
  state of reverie
• direction or object of attention not discernible.

You are not simply taking a portrait. You are
studying the way you look at your subject, the
way your subject is looking back, and the
relationship you are establishing between the
viewer and that subject.
