People Pictures: 30 Exercises for Creating Authentic Photographs

Bestselling author/photographer Chris Orwig offers 30 photographic exercises to renew students passion for capturing the people in their world. This is not a traditional portrait photography book. The goal isn't flattery, but connection and depth.

With titles like: Be Quiet, Turn the Camera Around, and the Fabric of Family, each of the 30 exercises encourages students to have fun and experiment at their own pace. With step-by-step instructions and using natural light, they will explore everything from street, lifestyle, candid, and environmental shots. The projects are small artistic endeavors meant to change how they see and the pictures that they make. All that's required is a camera, an intrepid attitude, curiosity, and some imagination.
