Book Review: More than worth buying!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bryan Peterson is a photo genius! I first read his understanding exposure book and was blown away by the detail and examples he gives in that book. after chatting with him via e-mail, he recommended this book. If you ever have taken a portrait(which everyone with a camera will or has) this book gives the inspiration to explore the full potential of every shot you will ever take from now on!
Summary of Beyond Portraiture: Creative People Photography
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.
