Take great pictures of people--beyond portraits, photos that capture a moment

* Specific enough for beginners, insightful enough for professionals
* Wonderful book for scrapbookers, parents, teachers
Great portraits go beyond a mere record of a face. They reveal one of the millions of intimate human moments that make up a life. In Beyond Portraiture, renowned photographer Bryan Peterson shows how to spot those "ah-ha!" moments and capture them forever. A teary child...old people laughing together...a smiling girl with big, big hair. Everyone remember pictures like these, usually taken by a mother, a father, a friend holding a camera, forever preserving small yet revealing vignettes of our personal histories. But we always relied on pure luck and chance to catch those moments. Peterson’s approach explains what makes a photo memorable, how to spot the universal themes that everyone can identify with, and how to use lighting, setting, and exposure to reveal the wonder and the joy of everyday moments. Beyond Portraiture makes it easy to create indelible memories with light and shadow.

Summary: The right stuff
Comment: For me, this edition is a follow-on book, continuing a good job made in Learning to See Creatively. It explains many techniques of how to approach to the possible model, meaning how to understand and how to work with people, use of light, composition, etc. It really is a must have, especially for the people they would like to increase their level of making good photographs. I am happy to have it, and am happy to be Amazon's customer at all, also.
