From Your First Home Studio to Shooting on Location
Portrait photography is rewarding and may be one of the most popular forms of photography. Almost everyone starts the same way: in a home studio or on location, with minimal equipment. This book gives you all the information you need to get the most from your home or first studio with minimal equipment but maximum know-how. It is also a valuable, practical resource for anyone who photographs on location.
It covers the proper use of cameras and lighting equipment, technical fundamentals, lighting setups, posing, and post-processing. The book includes many examples and diagrams of lighting arrangements. Everything is presented in a clear, no-nonsense style, lightened with humor and a touch of sarcasm—because the photography world is already complicated enough.
Some people will be completely at ease in front of the camera, while others may hide their insecurity behind arrogance. Knowing how to work with both is essential for every portrait photographer.
Good to know: registering the book gives you free access to the web edition, among other benefits.
