Portraiture Unleashed: 60 Powerful Design Ideas for Knockout Images

Great book but the irony is that I bought it as the result of a technical glitch. I would NOT have bought this based on the preview that seems to be normally available but when I reviewed the book I was somehow able to access many more pages than the limited preview. Fortunately, a part of the book directly related to a current project came up when I was leafing through this extended preview and I immediately bought the book. When I realised I had actually seen more than I would normally see in a preview, I went back to check and sure enough the "proper" preview was much more limited and would not have tempted me to buy. There is a lesson here for those who argue to significantly limit the previews that are made available to customers. It's a little like those bookstores (common in Asia) which ban book reading in book shops - I don't buy books I cannot browse for myself.This book is full of great ideas and advice, well worth the price but don't make your judgement on the preview that is available. It is much better than this.

I bought this book hopeful for new ideas and inspiration and I was met with a collection of heavily photoshopped images with little to no explanation of the techniques and equipment used, recommended base settings, etc. I think its an interesting coffee table book of images, but not something that will help me with my goal of getting better with portraiture, and I am returning it.

Nicely done Travis! New ideas and a nice showcase of talent. As always thank you for being willing to take the time and effort to share your knowledge and talent as well as that of others.

Love this book! If you're looking for inspiration and new ideas to boost your "wow" factor among your clients, then this is a great tool to use! Very cool concepts from several amazing photographers, all in one convenient book!

Awesome book. Pictures are very clear well put together. Has a lot of nice photography ideas. Would highly recommend.

An excellent book! Lots of samples and how they did it. Worth every dime.
