Pixiq 2012, softcover w/flaps, 9 1/4 x 10", 176 pages, color illustrations
Edgy, evocative portraits and unique post-processing details make this the most creative, hip portrait book available. It goes beyond the technical aspects of lighting and posing (though they are well covered) and reveals how to capture the essence of your subject's true inner self. Acclaimed photographer Natalie Dybisz offers advice on building trust, planning shoots, directing people, and using digital tools such as post-editing and compositing to create great portraits. An extensive showcase chapter presents several artists' works and methods.
