Taking pictures of your friends and family is lots of fun-but sometimes the results aren't entirely what you had in mind or just don't seem flattering. In this book, you'll learn to take your people pictures to the next level, crafting images that look much more polished and professional-photos that can truly be called "portraits" and not just snapshots. With these quick, two-page lessons illustrated by simple images from the pros, you'll learn how to avoid common problems with posing, lighting, and background selection. You'll be amazed at the improvement in your images-and so will your friends and family!

Testing Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II, 50mm f1.2 and the Sigma 85 f1.4 I just got the chance to test out the Canon 85mm f1.2 II and 50mm f1.2. I also tested out the new Sigma 85mm f1.4 which is another lens I have been very interested in and that has been getting a lot of great praise. You can see some sample images at the bottom of the page after the review.
