"Great portraits go beyond a mere record of a face. They reveal one of the millions of intimate human moments that make up a life. In Understanding Portrait Photography, renowned photographer Bryan Peterson shows how to spot those "aha!" moments and capture them forever, rather than relying on pure luck and chance. Peterson's approach explains what makes a photo memorable, how to locate the universal themes that everyone can identify with, and how to use lighting, setting, and exposure to uncover the wonder and joy of everyday living
