If you can’t make it to FotoFusion 2016, you can still get behind-the-scenes celebrity portrait stories in ‘Secrets of Great Portrait Photography: Photographs of the Famous and Infamous’. Drawing upon the lessons I’ve learned over the last three decades photographing portraits of the rich and famous, the book blends lavish celebrity portraits of a coffee table book with technical how-to insights with a side dish of behind-the-scenes celebrity stories. ‘Secrets of Great Portrait Photography’ takes you though all the stages of a portrait shoot from pre-production planning to posing your portrait to perfecting your shot in post-production. Loaded with details about three decades of portrait photography, each chapter of this 264 page book, is packed full of tips to successful portrait photography sharing all the details of lessons learned from each shoot.
