Mastering the Model Shoot: Everything a Photographer Needs to Know Before, During, and After the Shoot (Paperback)

For the first time ever, world-famous photographer and fashion lighting instructor Frank Doorhof takes you behind the scenes to reveal every step of his model-photography workflow–the same workflow that has made him a hero to photographers around the world thanks to his practical, budget conscious, no-nonsense approach.

In this groundbreaking book, Frank starts right at the beginning with how to find models, find great locations, work with backgrounds (you’ll be amazed at his tricks for creating stunning backgrounds for just a few bucks), and work by yourself or with a team (stylist, hair stylist, and makeup artist) to create an image that will get your photography noticed. Then, it’s on to an in-depth look at the lighting setups and looks that made Frank famous (complete with diagrams and detailed explanations).

You’ll see how Frank lights his images (you’ll be shocked at how simple most of his lighting setups are and you’ll be able to create these same setups yourself), plus he covers the critical little stuff nobody else is talking about, including: how to calibrate your monitor (and why it’s so important); how to use a color target to nail your color every single time; and why (and how) to use a light meter to get consistent, reproducible lighting each and every shoot.

Frank also shares his own retouching techniques through step-by-step tutorials, and he takes you from start to finish through a number of different looks so you can see exactly how it’s done, and recreate these same looks yourself. If you’ve ever wished there was one book that covers it all, the whole process of photographing models from start to finish, not leaving anything out, then this is the book for you.

 

這是世界知名攝影師和時尚燈光導師Frank Doorhof首次揭示他的模特攝影工作流程的幕後花絮，這個工作流程使他因其實用、節省預算、直接的方法而成為全球攝影師的英雄。

在這本開創性的書中，Frank從頭開始教你如何找到模特兒、找到優秀的拍攝地點、使用背景（你會對他用幾塊錢創造出驚人背景的技巧感到驚訝），以及如何獨自或與團隊（造型師、髮型師和化妝師）合作，創造出一張能引起攝影界注意的照片。然後，他深入探討了使Frank聞名的燈光設置和效果（包括圖表和詳細解釋）。

你將看到Frank如何為他的照片照明（你會對他大多數燈光設置的簡單性感到震驚，並且你將能夠自己創造這些設置），此外，他還談到了其他人沒有提到的關鍵細節，包括：如何校準你的顯示器（以及為什麼這很重要）；如何使用色彩目標確保每次都能準確呈現顏色；以及為什麼（以及如何）使用光度計來獲得一致、可重現的照明效果。

Frank還通過逐步教程分享了他自己的修圖技巧，並帶你從頭到尾展示了多種不同的效果，讓你可以看到如何實現，並自己重現這些效果。如果你曾經希望有一本涵蓋從頭到尾拍攝模特兒的全部過程，沒有遺漏任何細節的書，那麼這本書就是為你而寫的。
