The Art and Techniques of Business Portrait Photography begins with an overview of the business skills you'll need to achieve success. With discussions on everything from finding a niche, to pricing your portraits, to advertising and even hiring a great assistant, every business/marketing angle is covered.
Because creating business portraits on location presents a unique set of challenges, Amyot discusses strategies for lighting tight spaces, ensuring a safe environment, photographing industrial equipment, computers, etc. With a thorough discussion of composition and lighting strategies employed to create each image in the book, you will be able to re-create or modify some of the setups used to create these exceptional images.
