Lighting & Design for Portrait PhotographyDirection & Quality of Light

by Neil van NiekerkAuthor of On-Camera Flash Techniques

Master creative strategies to enhance every aspect of your portrait photography

There’s no single solution to every portrait challenge, but as Neil van Niekerk shows in this eclectic book, there are some fundamental ap-

proaches that lead to a “can’t fail” baseline. From this starting point, the challenge is to mix it up and improvise for better images every time. Work-ing through 60 unique portrait situations, the author explores the creative process from concept and setup to final product.
