People love to take photos of people and capturing a portrait that's more than just a snapshot is a dream for many beginning- and intermediate-level photographers. The latest book in "the Focus On series" is designed to help them meet that challenge. With each lesson presented in a single, easy-to-grasp spread, it presents the techniques required to achieve a portrait that's beautifully composed, well lit and fully captures the subject's personality. Award-winning photographer Jenni Bidner demonstrates how to shoot in a studio and in the field and analyses the many styles of portraiture, from formal sitting to spontaneous slice-of-life.

Jenni Bidner is a photographer and author of more than a dozen books about photographic techniques and is a past winner of the Henry Bergh Children's Book award as well as an instructor with BetterPhoto.com. She has served as editor of Petersen's Photographic, Outdoor & Travel Photography and Studio Photography magazines. Lukk
