Camera Craft: Portraits

Why do other people's photographs look better than yours? Why don't yours always come out as you thought they would? This new series provides answers to these questions, and many more, helping to better the photographic skills of both the amateur and aspiring professional. "Camera Craft: Portraits", the second title in this innovative new series, demonstrates how even the simplest camera can take the most brilliant portrait. The portrait can be candid - there and gone in one hundredth of a second - or it can be something that has been set up and worked on for a day. A portrait can be a face, an eye, hands, an out-of-focus turn of the head - whatever captures the spirit of the person. This book contains some remarkable portraits, short texts on their composition, hints on using colour and tips on techniques.
