"...to show the true being of the subject."
Which is something I think is impossible with a photograph. A photographer can show what they as a person perceive to be a truth about a "subject" (see how even the commonly used language that we use make a captive of the person being photographed?), and if as photographers we express that well, I think a viewer is more likely to respond with some sort of engagement.
And the more we know about the person photographed -- the more information we have to work with in judging the "honesty" of the photograph.
