Portrait Classroom: Baby and Child Photography Tutorials

Learn how to take portraits like a professional photographer with this insider’s guide to baby and child photography. PORTRAIT CLASSROOM for iPad describes from start to finish how to create stunning, keepsake portraits.

PORTRAIT CLASSROOM presents ten example portraits with accompanying tutorial text detailing how you can replicate the portraits using your own digital SLR camera. By using this App you will learn techniques that will enable you to capture the images you’ve always hoped to!

EACH TUTORIAL:

- Describes, in simple language, the set up for the portraits
- including notes on composition and interacting with the subjects

- Provides essential details on the camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed and aperture settings used

- Describes the portrait’s natural light and how to replicate it (no flash or lighting systems are used)

- Presents a full range of ‘before and after’ shots showing how the final image was created

- Details the post processing steps taken in Adobe Photoshop that will often also apply to Photoshop Elements and similar editing programs

PORTRAIT CLASSROOM is geared towards parents, hobbyists, amateurs, and aspiring semi-pro and pro photographers who want a hands-on guide to taking better pictures of babies and children. If you’ve bought a DSLR camera but aren’t getting photos much better than your point-and-shoot camera took, or if you are using your DSLR on ‘green’ auto mode then this App is for you. This App is also for photographers new to portrait photography wanting to better their skills and learn a few tips.

Use PORTRAIT CLASSROOM to learn how to obtain more professional looking results with your existing camera equipment and to learn about additional photography gear, software and resources (much of it relatively low cost) that can further enhance your portraits.
