Synopsis

LEARN TO CAPTURE PERSONALITIES WITH YOUR LENS


Taking great "people pictures" isn't a matter of luck. The secret is in observing your subjects and connecting with them, and then using your camera to its best advantage. Here's how to work with lighting, location, angle, composition, physical characteristics, environment, and a host of other variables, including the unique challenges of photographing babies, group activities, and action. Apply these techniques and watch your subjects come to life; then test your newfound skills by completing the assignments at the end of each chapter and collecting feedback on your work at pwsbooks.com.

  • Study your subjects in their natural habitat—observe how they react and interact


  • Discover simple techniques for improving photos of babies and children


  • Learn to capture facial expressions


  • Tell a story with a series of candid photos


  • Add interest to large-group shots

October 18, 2007: Portrait and Candid Photography Photo Workshop by Erin Manning is not only a useful and informative book on digital photography, but also a very good read. The author's style is lively and engaging and, most importantly, she conveys highly technical information in a way that is accessible to beginners without 'talking down' to more experienced digital photographers. While she has great advice for relating to the person being photographed (no matter the age), I found especially useful the information and tips she provided for taking pictures of infants and small children and the chapter on action photographs. The photographs in the book are beautiful--strong compositions, novel ways of seeing, illustrative of her points, and always evocative of the personality of her subjects. Erin used me as a reader of her book while it was in development, because I was a neophyte digital photographer and could let her know when I did not understand something she had written. For purposes of disclosure, I must also let you know that I am the (proud) mother of Erin Manning and delighted to see her good work in print.
