The White House unveils the new official portrait of President Trump
Briefly

The White House has released a new portrait of President Trump, replacing a previous image that drew negative comparisons to a mugshot. The latest photograph depicts Trump staring confidently into the camera, dressed in a blue suit with a red tie against a dark backdrop. This new portrayal contrasts sharply with the January photo, criticized for its 'up lighting' that gave Trump a ghostly appearance. Experts note the new lighting offers a more natural yet dramatic look, aligning closer to historical portrait styles without tradition in smiling.
In the new portrait, the lighting is more natural but still dramatic, showcasing one side of the face more than the other, emphasizing duality.
The first portrait was done with up lighting from below, casting a menacing stare reminiscent of a camper telling ghost stories.
