Design Aglow Posing Guide for Family Portrait Photography has the presence of a stunning coffee table book with the punch of an amazing business resource. I actually prepared myself to read this book, setting up a lounge chair and iced tea under the oak trees of my backyard. This is an experience I know I am going to appreciate, like seeing an Oscar-winning film for the first time. The author Lena Hyde is a friend and needs no introduction - her portrait business reached celebrity status years ago and her premier online site Design Aglow sets the bar for quality and impact in the photography industry.
The first thing I noticed is the brilliance of the cover, and the hefty quality of the book. Over two hundred pages of thick matte paper I can't wait to finish even before I begin. I'm looking forward to learning 100 modern ideas for photographing newborns, babies, children, and families. I gingerly lifted the cover as if handling a centuries old document, and peek inside. My reaction is audible as I flip the first pages. Awwww. Cuuuute. Powerful. Good ideas. I'm going to mimic that pose tomorrow!
As a father of three, I see myself in the photo "Here's looking down at you kid" an aerial shot of dad looking down at his newborn son on his lap with the family Dalmatian greeting baby (p17).
In "Sweet somethings" I see myself wishing I had a shot kissing my wife while holding the beautiful baby she delivered for our family (p23).
Every page has a portrait any client would instantly crave. Don't miss the helpful lighting information in the captions. For example:
- Here, buildings block the strong, directional sun. To prevent squinting, make sure the subject isn't looking into strong, reflective light (p70).
