This review is from: Photographing People (Hardcover)

This book has it all. If you are interested in a primer of photographing people, from travel portraiture to nudes. This book covers it. The author divides the book into various photography techniques and themes giving helpful suggestion and tips as he explains them. I would consider it a must have for you photo book shelf. Also the include photos are great and the paper stock of the book itself does the included photos justice. The book will tell you just about everything you ever wanted to know about photographing a person (as opposed to an object) and also give you some great ideas on directions you can take you photography in.
