A lengthy discussion of lightingthe backbone of portraitureand the manipulation of shadows and highlights instructs photographers on how to create mood and interest in a variety of lighting scenarios, both indoors and out. Specifics on adjusting body lines, colors, and shapes, working with young children, and creating a comfortable atmosphere ensure that the photographer captures the unique personality of each family with dynamic and attractive images.
This is a wonderful book filled with group/family portrait posing, lighting, and composition guidelines. It also discusses clothing, lens choices, depth of field, lighting, building groups, things to avoid, etc. Nice photos to help illustrate, and also a section on digital files. Definitely worth the money and a great reference for anyone doing group/family photography.
Whether you're looking to start your own portrait photography business or just simply trying to improve the family portraits you take this book is a good starting point.
The book begins with the most basic of principles and concepts and about half way through becomes densely packed with posing techniques, color coordination, setting up large groups and much more. I had to read these chapters two to three times to fully absorb all the knowledge that's jam packed in there.
Even though the images used are great and demostrate some of the instructions or concepts, the book does lack images when it comes to describing how each individual should be posed with words, supporting images would have helped greatly in getting the image accross faster! I had to read that section a couple of times to best understand what the writer meant.
