Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Skip Cohen Translating the chaos of the real world into a breathtakingly simple, beautiful photograph can often seem like an impossible task. With busy, cluttered backgrounds and subjects who don’t know how to pose, how can you take control and get a great shot no matter the situation? In Picture Perfect Practice, photographer Roberto Valenzuela breaks down the craft of photography into three key elements–locations, poses, and execution–that you can use to unlock the photographic opportunities lying beneath every challenging situation. Valenzuela stresses the need for photographers to actively practice their craft every day–just like you would practice a musical instrument–in order to master the art of making great images. With chapters that offer practice exercises to strengthen your photographic abilities, you’ll learn how to approach a scene, break it down, and see your way to a great photograph. The Location section features chapters that cover symmetry, balance, framing, color elements, textures, and much more. The Posing section includes the Five Key Posing Techniques that Valenzuela uses every time he’s shooting people, as well as a complete list of poses and how to achieve, customize, and perfect them. The Execution portion, with sections like “Lighting through Direction” and “Simplicity through Subtraction,” reveals Valenzuela’s overall approach to getting the shot. The book also includes an inspiring and helpful chapter on deliberate practice techniques, where Valenzuela describes his system for practicing and analyzing his work, which leads to constant improvement as a photographer. If you’ve been frustrated and overwhelmed by the challenges of real-world locations, posing your subjects, or executing a great image–or if you simply want to become a better shooter but don’t know where to start– Picture Perfect Practice gives you the tools and information you need to finally become the kind of photographer you’ve always wanted to be: the kind who can confidently walk into any location, under any lighting condition, with any subject, and know that you can create astonishing photographs that have a timeless impact.

Download or read book Picture Perfect written by Cheryl Lukatch and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09-18 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Susan Mauro's story; a tale of deceit that began after the homicide of a teenage witness under her protection. It is about her struggle to forget the terrible events that led to divorce and her efforts to keep her ex-husband out of her new life...and how she failed to accomplish either of these things because of the unexpected and fatal interference of one individual. The story opens as Susan prepares to sever the last tie to Scott and the past they shared. Suddenly people are murdered. The victims have one thing in common - Susan, an undercover policewoman who witnesses claim is responsible. In a heartbeat she's trapped on the ride of her life — a roller coaster out of control - accused of murder and the pawn in a demented game. After years of building walls to protect her privacy, she becomes the focus of everyone's attention - a vengeful motorcycle gang, her friends and fellow officers. Desperate to save herself, Susan flees to Montescaglioso and the safety of the family fortress in the hills of Italy only to be drawn back to America by another family legacy that changed her life in ways that no one would have expected.
