 Oprah Winfrey's portrait by Ruven Afanador 

As you can see the two pictures portray the same subject: Oprah Winfrey, an American  actress, talk show host, television producer and philanthropist. In the first one the purpose is to sell the magazine, while in the second one the photographer's aim is to depict her and her personality in a photograph.
