Abstract

"The sun is the best lighting." This book is a know-how book on portrait photography, in which Takahashi Shinya, a master of scenic portraits, explains how to skillfully incorporate the subtle differences in natural light depending on the season, weather, and time of day to create emotional and attractive portraits. Using as examples scenic portraits for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, taken in a simple style of one camera, one-on-one with the model, without the use of a reflector, and only natural light, the author unravels how he read the light on location and what his aims and images were when he created his works. Whether you are a beginner in portrait photography or an experienced photographer who feels that your portrait work is getting stale, try taking a different kind of portrait photography from before with this book, enjoying the seasonal colors, expressions, and emotions created by natural light for a year from tomorrow.
