Cinematic Portraits: How to Create Classic Hollywood Photography by Pete Wright

Description: Cinematic Portraits by Pete Wright A comprehensive guide to commerical portrait lighting for photographers, from the tools needed to advice and tips for getting that perfect shot. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Classic Hollywood portraiture is cinematic and striking. The subjects in the portraits are perfectly coiffed and attired, their skin is flawless, their wardrobes are cutting-edge fashion, and they seem to stare out from the frame with a godlike and storied presence. This is Old Hollywood portraiture, produced with excruciating precision to ensure that the stars and starlets of the 1920s and 1930s would look larger than life and simply perfect. The photographers and publicists goal in having these portraits made was to create a sense of awe, to give movie goers and fans a two-dimensional likeness of a celebrity that would create a buzz—an idolatry, even—and nestle these "superhumans" deep in the public consciousness. Pete Wright teaches you how to re-create mysterious, dark, and glamorous cinematic portraits reminiscent of those taken of 1920s and 1930s stars and starlets. The book contains 60 discrete sections which contain 60 of Wrights most impressive, nostalgic black and white portraits, along with some alternate poses and lighting diagrams. In each section, the author details the steps taken to create the final portrait. Youll learn how Wright conceptualized the shot and will gain insight into the location of the shoot, props selected to create the theme, wardrobe selection, and hair and makeup styling. The lighting units used on the set, light modifiers, and lighting setup employed will also be covered, allowing you to readily re-create the classic, dramatic Hollywood look with your own subjects. Wright will also discuss how he posed the subject to give him or her that superstar, larger-than-life look. One of the big differences between todays re-creation of the dramatic old portraits is digital capture, which, for the majority of photographers, is done in colour. Wright addresses this issue and presents tips for getting snappy, moody black and white tones in postproduction. If youre a film buff, portrait traditionalist, or simply want to add a new look to your photographic arsenal, youll find lots to love in this new book.
