Publisher's Synopsis
Head and shoulders portraits are amongst the most popular type of images created by photographers as they are used for so many purposes. While the visual prominence of the face creates an engaging image, it also presents a number of technical challenges. Focus and lighting are of huge importance and composition must be designed carefully to accentuate the assets of the subject, as are styling and expression. Jeff Smith shows readers how to attract clients, how to determine the brief as well as processes of retouching to create a polished finished product.
