This is an updated and expanded version of Allen's PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY: HOW AND WHY. It has been re-designed and re-illustrated, providing a more direct demonstration of techniques than the earlier book. This book shows how the ability of any photographer to 'see into' the subject can be greatly extended and developed, resulting in pictures that provide an insight into the character of the sitter - the essential property absent from so much portrait work. The author's honest approach to the psychology of portraiture and the problems of age, differences in complexion, handling child subjects and the scope and challenges of lighting effects are followed by a description of the process through to the printing and presentation stages, with advice based upon a lifetime's experience in photographing people. ; 9-5/8" Tall; 152 pages . more information

Despite the ease of use of modern 33mm cameras, craftsmanship is necessary if full use is to be made of the camera's possibilities; without technical skill, the photographer is at the mercy of chance. In order to sevelop a style, it is important to be subjective, to follow one's own ideas rather than other people's; a bland point of view and locak of conviction tend to produce bland photographs. Good photography is innovative; for better or worse, it is strongly influenced by fashions in imagery. There are verky few pictur-taking situations that cannot be improved by a new, fresh look - this is the most important standard of photography. ; 10-3/4" tall; 320 pages . more information
