Publisher's Synopsis
Classic Hollywood portraiture is cinematic and striking. The subjects in the portraits are perfectly coiffed and attired, their skin is flawless, their wardrobes showcase the cutting-edge of fashion, and they seem to stare out from the frame with a godlike and storied presence. This is Old Hollywood portraiture, produced with excruciating precision to ensure that the stars and starlets of the 1920s and '30s would look larger than life. Here, Pete Wright talks you through how to craft such images yourself.
