photographer, Rick Sammon introduces the proven techniques he uses
to make extraordinary photographs of people around the world.
You'll find important tips and strategies for engaging your subject
and setting up the shoot, along with techniques for shooting in a
variety of conditions both indoors and outdoors. Rick Sammon is
people person who loves the art of making - rather than simply
taking - people pictures.In "Face to Face", he makes learning
people photography a quick and enjoyable experience. Rick
demonstrates his methods through a collection of his original
photographs. Each photo includes notes explaining the principles he
followed and the techniques he used. "Face to Face" offers hundreds
of tips you can use for studio shoots and "environmental" people
pictures, including: outdoor techniques for shooting in low light,
shooting in bright light, for capturing action, taking profiles,
taking group shots, and more; indoor techniques for using a flash
and strobes, and for shooting silhouettes, working with mirrors,
and other techniques; photo philosophies and creative advice, such
as developing a sense of place, carefully choosing the background,
seeing pictures within a picture, and more; and how to photograph
people in different cultures, along with fascinating
behind-the-scenes stories of photos in the book.The largest section
of the book, "Photo Philosophies", lays out several principles for
making people pictures. Rick stresses that the camera looks both
ways -- in other words, the attitude and energy you bring to a
shoot will be reflected in a subject's face. If you're
enthusiastic, you'll capture a picture that portrays enthusiasm. If
you're impatient or distracted, that will be reflected as well.
Getting subjects to accept him in a matter of seconds is his prime
goal as a people photographer - after that, he says, taking
pictures is much easier. Even if you're not a world traveler,
Rick's tips and techniques will have you taking top-notch people
pictures wherever you are. Rick Sammon gives more than a dozen
workshops and presentations each year, holds online classes, and is
the producer of seven interactive DVDs for photographers on all
facets of photography.
