66 of 67 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book; if you dont already own itBy Nicholas M. SullivanFirst off; let me advise Bryan Peterson fans that "Beyond Portraiture" is not a totally new book; but a revision of his 1993 book "People in Focus" with some digital photos; hints and a Photoshop chapter added. A lot of the text is word-for-word from "People in Focus"; complete with gramatical errors and typos that have not been changed. Many of the pictures are the same. So; if you already own "People in Focus" and youre shooting film; or you are into digital but already have a good knowledge of your photo editing system; you may be greatly disappointed to find you are reading a lot of he same text and seeing a lot of the same pictures. In fact; I think many of his photos in the earlier book are better than a lot of those hes replaced them with.That said; Id highly recommend this book to people who are interested in improving their people photography outside the studio. The strong point to this book - as it was in "People in Focus" - remains the section on how to approach people at home and abroard and get them to let you take their photograph; and in overcoming ones own shyness about interacting with potential photo subjects. And; Petersons writing is always entertaining.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another great book by PetersonBy James WPeterson does it again! Im a dedicated; yet still learning amateur; and Petersons books always stretch the imagination with what is possible. I started with "Understanding Exposure"; followed by "Composition"; then read this book (Portraiture). I have found all to be excellent. I still go back and reference/reread them; as it takes a while for so much information to sink in. Ill still be learning; and find returning to these books helps me each step of the way.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another winner by Bryan PetersonBy Michigan HikerIf you are familiar with any of Bryan Petersons books and you liked them; youre not going to be disappointed with this one. Bryan shares tips in his usual charismatic way. In Beyond Portraiture; he shows other portrait opportunities that do not require studio settings. He provides both technical and artistic ideas and tips; which is the reason why I prefer most of his books over other photographerss work who cannot or would not get out of the conventional. With this book; you will learn technique; as well as creative thinking. Highly recommended it for those who are getting started and more advanced photographers. Professionals and well-established photographers may not find it as enlightening as those who are first starting. However; if youre going through a dry spell; it might help you get out of it.
