Описание: With the introduction and ongoing development of digital photography equipment, the medium of photography has become far more accessible and tangible to the wider public. For many amateurs and serni-professionals cameras and technology that effectively do the thinking have taken away the control of constructing a well-composed, crafted and considered image, with the artistic and creative process being overshadowed by gimmicks, plug-ins and effects. However, photographers wishing to progress beyond ‘program’ mode, where the camera makes the choices when producing the image, would be advised to learn the tried and tested rules and tools employed by photographers from film and high-end digital photography if they wish to develop and progress their work and ultimately take control of their image making. With this in-depth guide to portrait photography the photographer will be taken through the basic rules of portraiture, with the emphasis on getting it right in-camera and learning to use the camera as a tool for image making rather than relying on presets and modes to create the final photograph. Every aspect of the art form will be discussed, from cameras and lenses through to the final print, and all the various stages in between. For the professional photographer there is informative advice on how to get the best from your clients, including how to communicate effectively and how to pose your subject sympathetically to create successful and meaningful images. Overall the intention is to Introduction give the reader a deeper knowledge of portraiture, enabling a more considered and informed mind when producing images.
