Photography is a synthesis of so many things - art, technology, creative expression, and connecting with people. Photographs of people can draw us in by their expressions, emotions and relationships.
This book will help readers to understand the technology and the basics for developing an artistic eye and give them real-life techniques in connecting with and photographing people. The goal of the book is to inform and inspire readers, providing them with the skills and confidence to successfully use the digital camera as a tool to create and capture life's moments.
About the author: Most people recognize Erin Manning as the host of the DIY Network's The Whole Picture, a show focused on digital photography. For several years, she honed her craft by working as a commercial, portrait, and stock photographer, as well as working for Getty Images and completing a degree in studio art/graphic design from Loyola Marymount University. She has worked with clients such as AT&T, Bank of America, Disney, various lifestyle magazines, healthcare organizations, and individuals. Teaching photography and computer techniques to everyone from children, college students, and adults (including passengers onboard Crystal Cruise Lines) is another facet of her work.
Manning is active in a number of professional organizations including the Advertising Photographers of America, Women in Photography International, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and the Los Angeles Digital Imaging Group, which is dedicated to advancing the art and science of digital imaging.
