There is so much detail to be captured in a face. Cicero (106-43 BC) said: "The face is a picture of the mind as the eyes are its interpreter." To capture a person's personality, there are many things to keep in mind, and the authors of FACES show us how to match up a personality with lighting, posing, and composition. Portraiture is truly an art, and this book dives deep into the details so that you end up with a gorgeous portrait that both you and your subject love. Not only is this book the most comprehensive title available on portraiture, but it contains stunning images. Each image is paired with a lighting diagram, a description of why the type of image was chosen, and then takes you through postproduction to put the finishing touches on. The authors also take things a step further by showing you some of the most famous portraits taken and how the techniques of these portraits were obtained.* breathtaking gallery of celebrity portraits including Leonardo DiCaprio, Helen Mirren, and more * wide breadth of portraits -- from street shots to studio shots, with a lighting diagram to accompany most of these * the most unbelievably gorgeous book for one of the most sought after photographic genres - people and portraits
