About this title

Synopsis

In this comprehensive work, celebrated portraitist and teacher Robin Gillanders explores the subject in depth. Looking at all kinds of portraiture in both colour and black and white, he discusses how to set up the shot, how to pose the sitter, how to compose the photograph, how to light it, and ultimately how to give portraits real meaning.
