Nylora Bruleigh’s presentation of The Intricacies of Fine Art Portraiture - The Art of Being Creative perfectly depicts her creativity and ingenuity. Photographers by their very nature are creative, but Nylora takes it more than a step beyond the norm.
Her patience and diligence in creating images such as “Awaiting True Love’s Kiss” with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, “Elegant Egrets”, “Waiting in Suspense”, “Queen of Hearts”, “Black and White” and “Who’s the Fairest of Them All?” are just a few examples of her creativity and perseverance. Not only does she show her before and after images for all of the photographs in this book, she also gives a thorough explanation as to how she took the thought process through from the initial idea to fruition. She tells how, before coming up with a theme for a portrait session, she will scour yard sales or visit antique shops to find just the right prop for a future session. The wheels of her mind are in constant motion, sometimes even awakening her in the middle of the night, giving her new concepts with which to experiment.
The Intricacies of Fine Art Portraiture - The Art of Being Creative takes the reader through the multi-step process from the imagination stage to the completed project of a portrait assignment, be it commissioned or self-assigned, and is an important tool for all who are looking for ideas as to how to increase their creativity.
If you are a photographer seeking ways to become more visible in your community, interested in creating fine-art portraiture and increasing your bottom line, The Intricacies of Fine Art Portraiture - The Art of Being Creative should be read and re-read.

Nylora-Joy Bruleigh, M.Photog.Cr., CPP, had owned a successful photography studio specializing in ¿Bellies and Babies¿ portraits for ten years when she felt she needed to change it up a bit. She was inspired by other artist¿s fine art imagery and decided that this was the direction she wanted to take. She
began by researching work that truly inspired her and was fortunate to have opportunities to study and learn from some of these people. She began focusing on a variety of different photographic techniques, diving deeper into Photoshop, and taking many notes of her dreams that she would later use to design her photographic images.
In 2009, her style started to change and she began creating what is best described as rich, romantic images using vintage clothing and props. Nylora has specialized in creating outfits made from different materials, such as plastic and paper, and uses both natural and man-made materials in her work.
In 2012, Nylora earned both her Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman Degrees from Professional Photographers of America. She was one of only three photographers to receive both degrees that year and she earned the Silver Photographer of the Year. She currently holds the title of New Hampshire Professional Photographer of the Year. She is the recipient of multiple Fuji Masterpiece and Kodak Gallery Awards, and was a Top 10 Finalist in the Portrait Category for the National Grand Imaging Award in 2012. In 2014, Nylora earned the title ¿Photographer of the Year¿ for both the Photographic Open and Master Artist categories through PPA¿s International Print Competition.
Currently, she is enjoying teaching and sharing her knowledge with others through private classes as well as workshops around New England. Nylora feels this is only the beginning and is looking forward to seeing what the future holds for her. She resides in her hometown of Concord, NH, with her extremely supportive husband, two amazing children, and her dog, Lady Pen Pen of Partridge. She enjoys Sunday family dinners at her mom and dad¿s house with her siblings, nieces, and nephew. To learn more, visit www.photographybynylora.com.
