Book presentation from the back cover of the book<\/strong>
How do you create a portrait that really captures a human being? 14 of Scandinavia\u2019s most renowned photographers answer this question when they talk about their working methods, thoughts and technical approaches. They share their personal approach to everything from preparation and the meeting with the portrayed, to the choice of location, light and possible instruction \u2013 and how they work on the images in the editing phase. Each photographer brings his or her gaze, experience and working methods. It is precisely the differences that are the book\u2019s strength, along with the visual inspirations from the book\u2019s many photos that make you want to experiment yourself with the many possibilities of portraiture.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 14 photographers who share their knowledge and experiences in the book are:
Anders Petersen, Andrea Gjestvang, Andreas Haubjerg, Anna Clar\u00e9n, Joachim Ladefoged, Luca Berti, L\u00e6rke Posselt, Marie Hald, Meli Petersson Ellafi, Petra Kleis, Pieter ten Hoopen, Poul Amundsen, Sigrid Nygaard, Tobias Nicolai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
