Many of the portraits are stunning; I keep returning to his image of Samdech Preah Maha Ghosananda or Luís Sarría (the cover photo) and wishing I could handle negative space that way or create a photo so spare that all you can do is look at the subject. However, as amazing as some of these images are, they are actually not the most memorable portion of the book. Each picture is accompanied by a story and some thoughts on the techniques employed. Rather than being limited to "use f8" or "low key light over here", these discussions explore why a picture is structured the way it is, or how a particular type of lighting can affect a viewer's mood. He'll talk about body language, non-portrait portraits, about his mantra of "first, do no harm." This is not to say that there are no technical tips, only that they are wrapped in a thoughtful discourse on the art of making a picture. In reading this, you get a real sense of a craftsman at work and that, despite how simple the final image might look, there is an enormous amount of work, mostly cerebral, that goes into it. Regardless of why you approach this book—enjoyment of the photographs, philosophy of photography or simply 'I used a Rololight here'—there's something here for the photography lover. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"In this first-ever showcase of his work, Gregory Heisler, one of professional photography's most respected practitioners, shares 50 iconic portraits of celebrities, athletes, and world leaders, along with fascinating, thoughtful, often humorous stories about how the images were made. From his famously controversial portrait of President George H.W. Bush (which led to the revocation of Heisler's White House clearance) to his evocative post-9/11 Time magazine cover of Rudolph Giuliani, to stunning portraits of Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Hillary Clinton, Michael Phelps, Muhammad Ali, and many more, Heisler reveals the creative and technical processes that led to each frame. For Heisler's fans and all lovers of photography, Gregory Heisler: 50 Portraits offers not only a gorgeous collection of both black-and-white and color portraits, but an engrossing look at the rarely seen art of a master photographer at work"--Jacket.

Reading the stories about and technical approach behind each photo was riveting. I loved every one of them. ( )
