<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>An honest and personal book about creating better portraits and becoming your best self.</strong></p><p>The most successful portraits take us well beyond the surface of how someone looks and show us the inner essence of who someone is. They reveal character, soul, and depth. They uncover hidden hopes and profound truths, revealing that authentic and deeply human light that shines within. And while technical expertise is undoubtedly important, it's not the light, camera, or pose that creates a great portrait. It's you, and it's the connection you create with the subject that makes all the difference.</p><p>In <em>Authentic Portraits</em>, photographer Chris Orwig teaches you that the secret to creating meaningful portraits is simple: curiosity, empathy, kindness, and soul...plus a bit of technique. While Chris spends significant time on the fundamentals of "getting the shot"--working with natural light, nailing focus, dialing in the correct exposure, effectively posing and directing the subject, intentionally composing the frame--he also passionately discusses the need for personal development, creative collaboration, and connection with the subject. Because who you are directly and deeply affects what you create, and it is only through cultivating your own inner light that you will be able to bring it out in your subjects.</p><p>Filled with instruction, insight, and inspiration, <em>Authentic Portraits</em> is an honest and personal book about creating better frames. It's also about becoming your best self. Take the journey, and you'll learn to find your vision and voice, bring intention to your photography and your life, embrace mystery, and understand the importance of gratitude and empathy. Along the way, you will teach the camera to see in a way that replicates how you feel, and you'll find you have all you need to create work of lasting significance.</p><p><br />TABLE OF CONTENTS<br /><em>Part 1: The Foundation of Authentic Portraiture</em><br />01: Authentic Portraits<br />02: Beneath the Surface<br />03: The Paradox of Portraiture<br />04: Harmony and Discord<br />05: Thread<br />06: The Search<br /><br /><em>Part 2: The Art of Authentic Portraiture</em><br />07: Light and Soul<br />08: Invisible Light<br />09: Defining and Cultivating Soul<br />10: Silence<br />11: Wabi Sabi<br /><br /><em>Part 3: Mastering Technique, Gear, and Light</em><br />12: Finding the Perfect Portrait Lens<br />13: Exposure Settings<br />14: Seven Principles of Natural Light<br />15: Working with Natural Light<br /><br /><em>Part 4: The Sitter and the Subject</em><br />16: Finding Subjects<br />17: Finding and Approaching People You Want to Photograph<br />18: Pre-Shoot Prep<br />19: Preparing Yourself<br />20: Photograph People, Not Labels<br /><br /><em>Part 5: Posing, Directing, and Connecting</em><br />21: Defining Your Directorial Style<br />22: Practical Posing Tips<br />23: Connecting with the Subject<br />24: Unlikely Inspiration for Connecting<br />25: The Four-Step Approach<br /><br /><em>Part 6: Camera Work</em><br />26: Composition<br />27: This to That<br /><br /><em>Part 7: Stepping Up Your Game</em><br />28: The Other Side of the Lens<br />29: Courage<br />30: Inner Art<br />31: Gratitude<br />32: FAQ<br />33: The Journey Ahead<br /><br />Thanks<br />Image Details<br />Index</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Chris Orwig</b> is a best-selling author, photographer, and teacher who blends a down-to-earth approach with technical expertise.
