Portrait Photography  'From Snapshots to Great Shots'
By Erik Valind 2014 (Hard copy)


A highly recommended book by author / photographer 
Erik Valind (with very good reader / user reviews on Amazon). The author / photographer not only explains, but demonstrates the correct application(s) of camera / lens settings for improving portrait photos (inside / outdoors / various low light conditions).

I acquired this portraiture photography book mainly for assistance with the following portrait / light fundamentals:
  • Camera / Lens selection
  • On-camera flash (outdoors / inside / studio)
  • Off-camera flash / lighting modifies
  • Manipulation of light / light decisions and scenarios
  • Single-Person / group portraits 

This book is all about understanding the best camera / lens settings for getting the most out of portraiture photography. The 230+ pages are packed with the author's expert portraiture knowledge, skills and many practical portrait / posing demonstrations.
