Portrait Photography: Art and Techniques

Explaining the basic rules of portraiture, this practical guide also covers the more complex ideas of image making. Set out in chronological order as a photographer would approach a shoot, it explains each step of the process, including postproduction and printing. It explains how to make the most of your camera and lenses, and the fundamentals of photography; advises on how to approach shoots, whether for a baby or for a larger family grouping; and suggests poses for successful portraits. Aimed at all professional and amateur photographers, it covers portrait, glamour, hair, beauty, and fashion, and includes master classes on more in-depth areas of portraiture.
