PORTRAIT TIPS & TECHNIQUES
If you love photographing your children (who doesn't) and have a passion for Black & White Portraiture then you will love this eBook by Australian Photographer Wayne Radford.
Wayne kindly sent me a copy a few weeks ago and so far I have only had time to browse through it but the first thing that is very apparent is that the book is extremely well planned & beautifully put together.
On top of that his 40 years in the business clearly shows through in his stunning images.
Here's some details about what's in the book.
In this eBook you will learn how to simplify and fine tune the essentials for quality portraiture. Discover how to use facial recognition and what lighting techniques should be used to enhance your subject.
Also chapters on window lighting, subtractive lighting, how to find suitable locations, plus techniques for exposure and composition.
There are many stunning images and easy to follow charts that will demonstrate what to look for and how to do it.
PORTRAIT TIPS & TECHNIQUES is suitable for advanced DSLR enthusiasts and professionals wishing to fine tune their portraiture or develop a new style.
The tips and techniques apply to both black & white and colour portraiture.
