Portrait Photography

Succeed in Portrait Photography is the second title in the popular new 'Succeed in...' series, following Landscape Photography. This series is true to its name, and gives the amateur photographer insight into the professional photography world, and how to compose top-class shots or even how to turn a hobby into a successful, paying profession. Succeed in Portrait Photography covers all aspects of successful informal or formal portrait photography, from planning, shooting techniques in studios or on location, to lighting. It also includes vital information on postproduction, including digital processing and editing. Once professional-quality portraits have been achieved, David Wilson shows the reader how to market their portraits for editorial use, picture library sales, exhibition, or to secure private commissions. Finally, Succeed in Portrait Photography features three case studies of successful professional photographers, taking an in-depth look at how each made their break into the field, and revealing their star tips for success.
