دانلود کتاب Candid Photographic Portraiture

The uninhibited candid portrait, which is so much a feature of modern camera reporting, requires more of the photographer than mere familiarity with equipment and technique. It demands a high degree of anticipation and perception and, most of all, the ability to handle people.

For the first time, a book is published which sets out to examine not only the camera technique associated with the candid situation, but also the psychological aspects of photographing strangers, the establishment of rapport between photographer and unrehearsed subject, the aesthetic qualities of the candid portrait, and the legalities and ethics of candid shooting.

Few books on photographic portraiture do more than touch briefly on the candid portrait and its unique problems. Few authors have tried to delve into the photographer's mind and break down the mental block which prevents so many from even attempting this most satisfying approach to portraiture. We believe that this book breaks new ground in attempting to define and explain the more abstract qualities of candid photography.

CANDID PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITURE presents a host of new ideas for subjects and treatment. It will equip the reader both technically and mentally to handle with greater confidence and success that most exciting subject that challenges us every moment of the day ... our fellow man.

The next time you see and admire a particularly good photograph in a newspaper or magazine, you'll be certain that with your camera at hand, you could do just as good a job.
