Portrait Photography and Lighting, book, cover, Istoica

Cover Art

Hey! The cover is done! Exciting! It's gorgeous and I am so thrilled!

I wrote the book, but what makes it so great, in my opinion, is the incredibly talented photographer contributors. From a bunch of the uber talented folks over at Utata (names and links to follow - I'm catching up!) to Chris and Jessica over at istoica.com who contributed the majority of illustration portraits and all of the cover images. Superstars, I tell you. Working with these talented people was a genuine treat and I feel pretty honored. All in all, it's an amazing book (if I don't say so myself! - I know that sounds smarmy but I see it more like I got lucky enough to be able to put my words around these images) and I hope ... well, you know, I hope everyone buys one.

I mean .. come on ... don't you want to be able to figure out how to take pictures like *those*?

To me the face (the eyes, the expression of the mouth) this is the thing that reflects character. It is the only part of the body that permits us to see the inner person!
