Review:

When most of us think about portrait photography we think of studio images. Well that’s not the case in Jeff Smith’s new book ‘Outdoor and Location Portrait Photography’. With 50+ outstanding images, not a single one was crafted in a studio environment. Jeff shows a unique contemporary style with photographs of his subjects exclusively outdoors and on location.

This new book is not just a ‘showcase’ of Jeff’s work, but is packed with practical and informative information oh how he achieves his images. Most beneficial are his ‘side by side’ pictures that help illustrate his different techniques. The book covers all the basics and much more! I most enjoyed the detailed information on maximizing profits and tips on marketing outdoor portrait photography.

The solid content and remarkable images of ‘Outdoor and Location Portrait Photography’ make this book a must for any photographer considering the portrait profession. As Jeff states in the conclusion "Success isn’t arriving at a certain place, but the journey along the way." Don’t miss this books journey, it’s well worth the trip!
