Contemporary Lifestyles

The interest in lifestyle photography has grown alongside the public's growing enthusiasm for reproducing the kind of images we see in magazines and on TV. These photographers attempt to reveal how their subjects live by showing them in their own environment rather than formally posed in an alien location. "Contemporary Lifestyle" follows the photographer on location from the beginning to the end of a shoot, and provides commercial photographers with advice about how to get the most from their subjects. The text also discusses how to create lifestyle images for advertising and editorial features in magazines.
