Hollywood Portraits Overview


From the innocent allure of Audrey Hepburn and the sensuous poses of Marilyn Monroe to the macho charisma of Marlon Brando and the cool sophistication of Humphrey Bogart, this fabulous, inspirational book of star photographs provides classic portrait styles and detailed directions on how to set up, light, and shoot each photo. Step-by-step instructions reveal the techniques used by top-notch Hollywood photographers for their glittering glamour portraits of the 1920s through the 1950s. Diagrams and additional step-by-step instructions give readers the information needed to create classic Hollywood-style portraits of their own. Included are sections on equipment, processing, lighting, and modern-day equivalents, plus a decade-by-decade gallery featuring vintage portraits of the stars.


Customer Reviews


I find this book interesting and helpful. One thing though that bothers me is that I think it could have been better if they would have tried their own advice and recreated a couple of the photos using their suggested set-ups. They could have then included these photos. The authors offer this book as a guide for others to do that without demonstrating how it worked for them - I think it would have made a good book better.
