Mais um lanccedil;amento da Coleccedil;atilde;o Propg Digital; por meio do selo Cultura Acadecirc;mica; Mulheres recipientes se configura como uma obra de grande sensibilidade ao realizar a interseccedil;atilde;o entre a arte e os sentimentos femininos.Resultado da dissertaccedil;atilde;o de mestrado de Flavia Leme de Almeida; eacute; necessaacute;rio destacar que este livro natilde;o se restringe agrave;s generalidades de ldquo;estudos de gecirc;nerordquo;.

Photographys fun beautiful; pets behaved; you can use an affordable camera; the authors informative- Too good to be true?By kelly lentineThis book is wonderful! Though simple and basic for the pros; its great for beginners (I believe that was the authors intended audience). This is not one of those books that talks primarily about the manual camera settings as if you should already know the ins and outs of manual mode shooting. Rather; it explains each step of photography. A nice part of Beautiful Beasties is that Jamie Plughoeft is not at all against point and shoot; affordable cameras (unless you are starting a professional business). Without a doubt; Beautiful Beasties is the best pet photography book Ive found (at least for beginners). The book alone helped me understand photography better (Jamie Plughoeft is great a explaining in simplicity). I also was extremely grateful that this informative book lead me to my dSLR: the Canon EOS Rebel T3i- a camera Id definitely recommend to anyone interested in SLR photography. Informative; engaging; helpful; gracious: Thats how Id define the authors writing and skill. A MUST HAVE without a doubt.What this book includes:Chapter 1: The history of Pet Photography and getting starting your own pet photographyChapter 2: Talks about different kinds of cameras; camera accessories; and computer photo editing softwareChapter 3: Working with different kinds of animals; animal behavior and different personalitiesChapter 4: Preparing for a photo shootChapter 5: Using manual settings; RAW vs. JPEGChapter 6: LightingChapter 7: Rule of thirds; needed and un-needed space in a photo; composition; Scenes and SettingsChapter 8: Challenges in photography (black white dogs; sick pets; weather; bad lighting)Chapter 9: Editing with different softwareChapter 10: Finding and Defining your own personal photography skillChapter 11: Should I become a pro and start my own business?Chapter 12:Step by step help in starting your own professional pet photography business Overall; this book is great and has helped my photography skills. The authors photographs are gorgeous too; they take up a good portion of the book; which is nice. Great buy; easy to understand; and is worth it whether you are interested in capturing pets in your own photos or if you just love photography in general!!! Five stars for sure! FYI: Dont buy this book if youre strictly interested in photographing anything other than dogs and cats. Though it does touch on other pets briefly and still can prove helpful; the authors main subjects are dogs and cats.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. BEST Pet Photography book out there!By KCannot say enough great things this book. Tells you anything and everything you need to know about the business and taking great photos; as well as Jamies incredible photography and her tips to being successful in he industry. As an aspiring pet photographer; this book could not have been more helpful and will give you a true inside look at what really goes on in owning your own business. Very easy and even fun to read while still containing crucial information. I could tell it took a considerable amount of time to put the book together being as lengthy as it is as well as all the extra information on every photo that is featured. Although I wish there were more photographs (some were reused) every one of them was stunning unlike other pet photography books where the information was good but photography was blah. Jamie is realistic and practical while still being relatable and entertaining. It is so refreshing to see an excellent photography book dedicated solely to pets. The pet photography industry is growing rapidly; but there are not nearly enough resources as there should be to learn the ins and outs of the industry. Jamie even refers you to her website (beautiful beasties) to take online classes and learn tips as well as other great pet photographers and resources with extended information. This book is well worth your money; and I believe the best one you can buy on the market to gain insight into the pet photography world. Buy it!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Filled with Great InformationBy L. HamlettIf you want to take great photos of pets or go into pet photography as a profession; buy this book!!!Pros: 1. Communicates the hows of pet photography; but more importantly tells you the whys.2. Organized in a logical way; similar to the Idiots Guides. Makes it easier to hunt for specific information you need with out having to read every page of the book.3. Exercises at the end of each book are great for helping you organize all those things you need to do and planning to do; but didnt know quite when or how to do so.4. Includes a self evaluation list to see if pet photography is right for you.5. List of sequential steps to take to start a pet photography business.6. How to price your images and why.7. Lists tons of online and printed resources.8. Has a sense of humor. I have laughed out loud reading this book a time or two. but not silly.9. It gave me a lot to think about and invaluable tips.10. Covers the technical end of photography and post production.11. Lots of detailed and specific information.12. Great photos ;they are NOT page fillers; because the author did not have enough info to give you.I do not know the author in any way. I bought the book; because I am thinking about starting a pet photography business.
