I strongly feel that a good artistic portrayal of a particular subject captures how we perceive them. It gives them the kind of elements and life, through whatever creative means work, that makes us perceive them on film or tape the way we would have perceived them in person. Or it even enhances them and how we could perceive them. Good art, good drama, good photography, etc. have or capture an impact or an essence, as well as just some sort of visual or auditory rendering of a subject.
