Smile. Don't smile. Make a funny face! Smile sideways. Make another funny face!

Smile. Don't smile. Make a funny face! Smile sideways. Make another funny face!

These were the instructions I was giving my "model". These are few of the many various expressions this five year old provided.

Here is my question - would a "Contact sheet" style image make a good portrait?

I'll give our friends the regular portraits of their kids, but as I was reviewing the images, I saw this and I liked this concept. I can imaging a large format print of a series of their kid's faces. I have similar series of images for all of their kids. Probably in a modern style frame.

What do you think? Should I stick with regular portraits or include this type of image as a portrait?
