Reseña del editor

Whether you are an amateur or a professional photographer, portrait photography is one of the most popular and enduring genres. But shooting truly great portraits requires an intimate appreciation of light, composition and mood, and an ability to relate to the subject. Sometimes, even with the best will in the world, if the equipment isn't up to scratch, your concept lacks originality, or your subject is resistant to your ideas, your best-laid plans for an inspirational portrait session can result in mediocrity. But all is not lost. Here's where "Creative Photoshop Portrait Techniques" comes in. This highly illustrated guide introduces the portrait photographer to photoshop techniques to recover, restore, rebuild and invigorate your portraits. With over 65 clearly explained step-by-step tutorials, you'll discover how to do everything from correcting and enhancing colours, through creating mixed lighting effects that would otherwise require an expensive studio set-up, to producing high-key or low-key styles. There's also guidance on lens and background effects, effects for isolating and emphasizing the subject, how to use monochrome studies showing the effects of grain and texture, and how to recreate classic styles from 40's Hollywood to the iconic style of David Bailey. Whatever you want to do, and whatever your skill level, you'll be able to tackle it using "Photoshop".
