Why this ebook is different
Too many tutorials on beauty photography feature examples photos which are a selection of the top photos from the portfolio of the author.
The lucky photos that he was able to shoot when everything came together and light and pose turned out ideal for the featured model. In some cases he even shows example photos for specific lighting setups, which obviously had been taken with a different setups then the ones presented in the book he have also noticed that when discussing lighting setups, authors often used example photos which were obviously taken with slightly different setups.
This ebook is an extremely honest book. Michael used ONE SINGLE photo shoot to demonstrate all his lighting setups, all poses, clothes and techniques discussed in the book.
He did not hire a model for the shoot, he simply asked his wife to demonstrate everything for you. He also did not rent the presidential suite, simply executed the shoot in his home bedroom.
Are all poses and clothes ideal for his wife? No. Not at all, not even the majority. Are all lighting setups ideal for tiny bedrooms? Of course not. But instead of selecting perfect examples from his portfolio, he simply used the photos from this one shoot and he refrained from doing extensive Photoshop that usually would give the photos the perfect touch.
When you pick your techniques from this book, then you see what you will get. Nothing more, nothing less.
