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 CONTENTSPart 1: The Foundation of Authentic Portraiture01: Authentic Portraits02: Beneath the Surface03: The Paradox of Portraiture04: Harmony and Discord05: Thread06: The SearchPart 2: The Art of Authentic Portraiture07: Light and Soul08: Invisible Light09: Defining and Cultivating Soul10: Silence11: Wabi SabiPart 3: Mastering Technique, Gear, and Light12: Finding the Perfect Portrait Lens13: Exposure Settings14: Seven Principles of Natural Light15: Working with Natural LightPart 4: The Sitter and the Subject16: Finding Subjects17: Finding and Approaching People You Want to Photograph18: Pre-Shoot Prep19: Preparing Yourself20: Photograph People, Not LabelsPart 5: Posing, Directing, and Connecting21: Defining Your Directorial Style22: Practical Posing Tips23: Connecting with the Subject24: Unlikely Inspiration for Connecting25: The Four-Step ApproachPart 6: Camera Work26: Composition27: This to ThatPart 7: Stepping Up Your Game28: The Other Side of the Lens29: Courage30: Inner Art31: Gratitude32: FAQ33: The Journey AheadThanksImage DetailsIndex Trade Books>Hardcover>Technology>Photo,Video>Photo,Video Tech, Rocky Nook Core >2<

[EAN: 9781681983462], Neubuch, [PU: Rocky Nook, Santa Barbara], Hardcover. It is not the posing or the light that makes a portrait successful. Nor is it how glamorous or beautiful the subject looks. The best portraits show us more - they reveal hidden secrets and deeper truths. Ever so slightly, they give us hints of character, essence, soul, story, and life. And the best portraits have a lasting significance. They resonate in an interesting way. They not only show us appearance, but they reveal to us that authentic and deeply human light that shines within. These photographs are an outward expression of inward dreams, hopes, and ideals. In Authentic Portraits, photographer Chris Orwig teaches us that the secret to authentic portraits is simple: curiosity, empathy, kindness, and soul - plus a dash of technique. By caring deeply about the subject, we increase the odds of someone else caring as well. And the only way to truly care is to be yourself. Authenticity is more powerful than anything else. Authentic Portraits is about taking, making, and creating better frames. But it's also about finding and becoming your best self. In the pursuit to capture more authentic and meaningful frames, you'll find that the two paths intersect in unexpected ways. It is not the posing or the light that makes a portrait successful. Nor is it how glamorous or beautiful the subject looks. The best portraits show us more--they reveal hidden secrets and deeper truths. Ever so slightly, they give us hints of character, essence, soul, story, and life. And the best portraits have a lasting significance.
