Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Great portraits go beyond a mere record of a face. They reveal one of the millions of intimate human moments that make up a life. In Beyond Portraiture, renowned photographer Bryan Peterson shows how to spot those “ah-ha!” moments and capture them forever. A teary child...old people laughing together...a smiling girl with big, big hair. Everyone remember pictures like these, usually taken by a mother, a father, a friend holding a camera, forever preserving small yet revealing vignettes of our personal histories. But we always relied on pure luck and chance to catch those moments. Petersons approach explains what makes a photo memorable, how to spot the universal themes that everyone can identify with, and how to use lighting, setting, and exposure to reveal the wonder and the joy of everyday moments. Beyond Portraiture makes it easy to create indelible memories with light and shadow.

Book News Annotation:

Featuring full color examples throughout, this volume offers practical suggestions for capturing powerful images of human subjects with a film or digital camera. Professional photographer Peterson begins by discussing ways of approaching potential subjects and putting them at ease. Other topics include working with light, choosing the right aperture, and cropping images. The volume concludes with some tips on selling photos to stock agencies.
