Lighting and Posing Techniques for Photographing Women

Lighting and Posing Techniques for Photographing Women

Women's portraits are far more diverse in their style than portraits of any other subject. From senior portraits, bridal images, and business portraits, to fashion shots, boudoir portraits and maternity images—there is no limit to the types of images you may need to create. In this book, Norman Phillips explores the approaches used by over a dozen master photographers to create memorable and appealing portraits in styles from classic to contemporary.

Photoshop for Virgins by Mike McNamee (Superclass)

As previously, the sessions will be paced for photographers who are new to both digital and image editing. The program is aimed at people with introductory levels of Photoshop use and digital imaging, and the object is to provide a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where beginners can seek answers to their questions without the fear of being surrounded by impatient experts who only want to see the latest whiz bang features of the software. With ten years of teaching experience at community college level, Mike is well placed to deliver the tuition.
