"Wilkinson and Plater have plenty of advice on how to get the best from a subject, from formal adult portraits to lively children captures - as well as offering masses of technical know-how, and tips and hints to back it up." --Black + White Photography "If ever a book deserved a hard cover and long future of reprint runs, it must be the new Ammonite Press title Mastering Portrait Photography... It's just a blow-by-blow reference study. You can open it at any spread and learn something." --Master Photographer

Synopsis
No more formal, corporate-style poses--this book offers a modern, vibrant approach, capturing a moment in the subject's lifestyle. It discusses technical aspects from equipment to exposure, aperture, metering, shutter speed, depth of field and white balance settings, in addition to how natural light, color and movement affect an image. The book also covers posing, home studios, backgrounds, artificial light, and pre-shoot prep such as make-up, hair styling and clothing. Post-production topics include skin retouching, color correction, printing options and presentation., Mastering Portrait Photography is a practical guide to mastering essential techniques required to capture stunning images. Award-winning photographers Paul Wilkinson and Sarah Plater believe that portraits should not be formal, corporate style poses that reveal nothing of the subject's emotions or personality. Their modern, fresh and vibrant approach to portraiture aims to capture a moment of the person's lifestyle and make a lasting impression. Mastering Portrait Photography discusses all the requisite skills for taking compelling portrait photographs: from choosing the best kit and mastering the essential techniques; to using the most effective lighting and setting to achieve your desired atmosphere and effect; to learning the secrets of working harmoniously and professionally with people of all ages and using the best postproduction techniques to get the most from your prints. This accessible guide shows how to capture beautiful, timeless images that will bring pleasure for generations.
