Photographing Women

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.
