Handbook of Model Photography

Handbook Model Photography

In the Handbook Model Photography, world-renowned photographer and fashion lighting trainer Frank Doorhof takes you into the world of model photography. This book covers everything you need to know as a photographer before, during and after a shoot. It starts with finding models and great locations, working with different backgrounds, and how to approach a model shoot on your own or with a team. From there, the book goes into extensive detail on exposure and lighting setups. You'll learn how Frank lights his photos and will be surprised at just how straightforward it can sometimes be to achieve the same effects. The book also delves deeper into often-overlooked aspects such as calibrating your monitor, how to use a colour card, and how and why to use a light meter to create consistent and reproducible exposure on every shoot. Finally, attention is given to photo editing. Frank covers his most frequently used retouching techniques through step-by-step instructions that show you from start to finish how various looks are created.
