Product Description
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. Peterson's 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. Bryan Peterson's books have sold more than 200,000 copies Specific enough for beginners, insightful enough for professionals Bryan Peterson is a well-known photographer, writer, and teacher.

4 out of 5 stars Look closely and then enhance what you see !   December 3, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a book meant for YOU, the photographer who wants to invest time, time to look closely, observe and then tweak the image to the point that YOU find it acceptable. Bryan has found a good balance in text and pictures. He shows clearly what defines a successful picture and from then how to make that a winner ! Beautiful examples enrich this book, but don't neglect to read also, the text is highly informational, for both digital and analogue photographers alike.


5 out of 5 stars Must have guide for portraiture   November 26, 2007
This was the type of book I was looking for to upgrade my portraiture skills. Deals with technical aspects of people photography and with composition as well as with the 'softer' aspects. It really made me want to go out and try all I have learned through this book.
