Photographing Women : Posing, Lighting, and Shooting Techniques for Portrait and Fashion Photography

Following up on the success of his first book, Photographing Men, photographer and author Jeff Rojas has created a companion book that covers everything you need to know about photographing women. Unlike so many other books on the market that focus on photographing women—which are often just a collection of images that show different posing and lighting setups—in Photographing Women: Posing, Lighting, and Shooting Techniques for Portrait and Fashion, Jeff actually teaches you what you need to know in order to create great images. , you’ll learn: • How to identify different face shapes, and how to decide on makeup and lighting choices based on those shapes • The different body types that most women have—diamond, hourglass, rectangle, apple, etc.—and how best to flatter them • All about “perceived flaws”—such as love handles and double chins—and what to do about them • The difference between posing and directing your subjects • How to style your subject appropriately, depending on the type of shoot (portrait, boudoir, commercial, etc.) • How to pose your subject for standing, sitting, and lying poses • The lighting techniques you need to know in order to create beautiful, flattering light in your photos • And much more!In the final section of the book, covering lighting, Jeff brings it all together and provides 21 unique lighting setups, working through a series of shoots that cover portrait, commercial, and fashion photography.
