Product description

Recommended Reading for Photo Fans: 32+ Books from B&Hs Bestseller List Read More Picture Perfect Practice: A Self-Training Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Taking World-Class Photographs from New Riders meets the needs of photographers who are constantly frustrated or confused about how to make a photo that has "snap." The challenges of making a good portrait can be daunting. There are many factors to be taken into consideration such as subject, location, lighting and posing.This book, using the author's considerable experience shooting in many different kinds of venues, breaks down the elements that go into making an ordinary portrait into a "keeper." Above all, the author emphasizes the need to practice the craft so that when you come up against a challenge, you'll know how to solve it. From symmetry to framing and from color to texture, you'll learn how to maximize the shooting session as well as make the best use of the location itself. Too often photographers do not take into consideration obvious factors such as background, posing and basic execution. You'll come away from this book with a sense of how to size up a shooting situation and know how to get the most out of it. The book breaks down the three key elements that go into making a good image - location, pose, and execution. Once you've come to terms with how to deal with these elements, you'll build the confidence you need to enter any photo arena and come away with a winning shot.
