What if you could create striking portraits? What if it did not matter what natural-light situation you found yourself in, indoors or outdoors? What if you always knew exactly what to do to make a beautiful photograph? Have you ever dreamed of making portraits so impressive that friends and family say, ‘Wait, is this your photograph? Did you take that?’ Then you now have the right book in your hands!
Award-winning photography author Scott Kelby shows you how to photograph and edit beautiful portraits in natural light. Scott shares all his secrets and proven techniques. He covers everything from essential equipment and camera settings to the methods you need to create impressive portraits. From window light and taming harsh direct light outdoors to the tools and accessories needed for beautiful portraits in any lighting conditions, Scott explains it all.
Among many other topics, Scott discusses:
- the secrets to getting razor-sharp portraits every time without breaking a sweat;
- the right camera settings for portraits in natural light and why they work—and which settings are best avoided;
- how to separate your subject from a silky, blurred background, regardless of the lens you use;
- how to tame even the harshest light and use it to create soft, beautiful, enveloping light;
- which lenses produce the best results and why;
- which equipment you really need and which accessories work best;
- plus many excellent tips that will not only help you take better photographs but also make the entire process more enjoyable.
You will find all of this in Portretfotografie bij natuurlijk licht, including a full chapter on post-processing and retouching, as well as a chapter with detailed portrait recipes.
