Capture the perfect portrait--even if it's with a selfie--in this
updated edition of a trusted classic, now with all-new photography.
Great
portraits go beyond a mere record of a face. They reveal one of the
millions of intimate human moments that make up a life. In Understanding Portrait Photography,
renowned photographer Bryan Peterson shows how to spot those "aha!"
moments and capture them forever. Rather than relying on pure luck and
chance to catch those moments, Peterson's approach explains what makes a
photo memorable, how to spot the universal themes that everyone can
identify with, and how to use lighting, setting, and exposure to reveal
the wonder and joy of everyday moments.
This updated edition
includes new sections on capturing the perfect selfie, how to photograph
in foreign territory while being sensitive to cultures and customs, how
to master portraiture on an iPhone, and the role of Photoshop in
portraiture. Now with brand-new photography, Understanding Portrait Photography makes it easy to create indelible memories with light and shadow.
