A guide to portrait photography from Koleso Sobaki
This guide is not an in-depth collection of knowledge of every element of portraiture. But it is a collection of features that are important to me personally in constructing a photograph.
Each photographer's work is individualized
And I thought it was important to show exactly my peculiarities of work in this material. It contains a little bit of everything, but the main thing is the distinctive features and knowledge that I have gained through a large number of shootings and study of specialized materials.

Who is the right person for this guide?
To a pretty wide range of photographers. In fact, it's like getting a peek behind the scenes of your work. A lot of what is written here (and almost all of it) I tell in my lessons. Some things you may know, and they will be obvious. And some things, will be heard for the first time. The main thing is that the information in the guide works in synergy and is related to each other.
What else do you need to know before you buy?
If it is important for you, it is 220 pages long. It is collected in the format of vertical slides (PDF format), because many of the examples are vertical photos. Some of the slides are densely packed with text, some partially, some just consist of photo examples.
