FACES: Photography and the Art of Portraiture

"The face is a picture of the mind as the eyes are its interpreter." — Cicero 106-43 BCE

To capture a person's personality, there are many things to keep in mind, and the authors of this new book show us how to match up a personality with lighting, posing, and composition. Portraiture is truly an art, and this book dives deep into the details so that you end up with a gorgeous portrait that both you and your subject love.

Not only is this book the most comprehensive title available on portraiture, but it contains stunning images. Each image is paired with a lighting diagram, a description of why the type of image was chosen, and then takes you through post-production to put the finishing touches on.

The authors also showcase a gallery of portraits by renowned photographers:

breathtaking gallery of celebrity portraits including Leonardo DiCaprio, Helen Mirren, and more;

wide breadth of portraits — from street shots to studio shots, with a lighting diagram to accompany most of these;

the most unbelievably gorgeous book for one of the most sought after photographic genres — people and portraits.
