The purpose of portrait photography is to capture the unique likeness, character, and personality of an individual or group of people. It involves using various techniques such as lighting, posing, and post-processing to create a visually compelling photo.

Andy Clarke explains where SMIL animations in SVG take over where CSS leaves off.The SMIL specification was introduced by the W3C in 1998 for synchronizing multimedia. This was long before CSS animations or JavaScript-based animation libraries were available. It was built into SVG 1.1, which is why we can still use it there today.Now, you might’ve heard that SMIL is dead. However, it’s alive and well since Google reversed a…
