An honest and personal book about creating better portraits and
becoming your best self. The most successful portraits take us well
beyond the surface of how someone looks and show us the inner
essence of who someone is. They reveal character, soul, and depth.
They uncover hidden hopes and profound truths, revealing that
authentic and deeply human light that shines within. And while
technical expertise is undoubtedly important, it's not the light,
camera, or pose that creates a great portrait. It's you, and it's
the connection you create with the subject that makes all the
difference. In Authentic Portraits, photographer Chris Orwig
teaches you that the secret to creating meaningful portraits is
simple: curiosity, empathy, kindness, and soul...plus a bit of
technique. While Chris spends significant time on the fundamentals
of "getting the shot"--working with natural light, nailing focus,
dialing in the correct exposure, effectively posing and directing
the subject, intentionally composing the frame--he also
passionately discusses the need for personal development, creative
collaboration, and connection with the subject. Because who you are
directly and deeply affects what you create, and it is only through
cultivating your own inner light that you will be able to bring it
out in your subjects. Filled with instruction, insight, and
inspiration, Authentic Portraits is an honest and personal book
about creating better frames. It's also about becoming your best
self. Take the journey, and you'll learn to find your vision and
voice, bring intention to your photography and your life, embrace
mystery, and understand the importance of gratitude and empathy.
Along the way, you will teach the camera to see in a way that
replicates how you feel, and you'll find you have all you need to
create work of lasting significance. TABLE OF CONTENTS Part 1: The
