Our faces tell a thousand stories of our hopes, our dreams, our triumphs and our disappointments. Each face is unique and, among the billions of people on this planet, there is only one of each of us. Portraiture isn't just about creating a likeness of a person - it's about capturing that person's spirit, personality and individuality. This book includes a range of basic information and ideas suitable for beginners as well as sample portraits with the equipment configurations and camera settings. The challenge of a portrait photographer is to reveal a person’s innermost thoughts and feelings while still producing an accurate likeness and all we really need is our camera, our passion to be creative and the satisfaction of photography.
