Photographing Women

Following up on the success of his first book, Photographing Men, photographer and author Jeff Rojas has created a companion book that covers everything you need to know about photographing women.

Unlike so many other books on the market that focus on photographing women—which are often just a collection of images that show different posing and lighting setups—in Photographing Women: Posing, Lighting, and Shooting Techniques for Portrait and Fashion, Jeff actually teaches you what you need to know in order to create great images.

, you’ll learn:

• How to identify different face shapes, and how to decide on makeup and lighting choices based on those shapes

• The different body types that most women have—diamond, hourglass, rectangle, apple, etc.—and how best to flatter them

• All about “perceived flaws”—such as love handles and double chins—and what to do about them

• The difference between posing and directing your subjects

• How to style your subject appropriately, depending on the type of shoot (portrait, boudoir, commercial, etc.)

• How to pose your subject for standing, sitting, and lying poses

• The lighting techniques you need to know in order to create beautiful, flattering light in your photos

• And much more!

In the final section of the book, covering lighting, Jeff brings it all together and provides 21 unique lighting setups, working through a series of shoots that cover portrait, commercial, and fashion photography.
