Amherst Media Presents New Book, The Sandy Puc' Guide to Children's Portrait Photography

Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- A great portrait session starts with a working knowledge of the equipment needed for the job and great planning. Puc' ensures that readers have at the ready the right equipment for the job, then offers strategies for enhancing the technical aspects of the shoot, from lighting, to posing, to post-capture techniques. Learn how to work with parents to ensure their child is well attired for the portrait session, how to elicit great expressions from children of any age, overcome shyness, and increase the odds of gaining the young client's cooperation. Posing and lighting strategies for creating a flattering, personality-filled and engaging children's portrait comes next. Get effective ideas for creating parent-and-child portraits, incorporating the family pet, working with special-needs kids, and creating teen portraits that will appeal to both the young woman or man and her/his parents in the studio and on location.

No matter how perfect portraits may be, the truth is, they won't sell themselves. Puc' shows how to maximize marketing reach, retain clients, and ensure top referrals. She'll also show how to put your best foot forward in the sales room. Puc' outlines essential sales tips and offers suggestions for adding to the basic sale some specialty products that are perfectly tailored to members of each age group.

Top photographers know that they bring a great deal of joy to their client's lives. For many shooters, seeing the look on their subject's faces when they view the final portraits is indescribably gratifying. As the founder of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, a nonprofit, national organization of photographers who volunteer to photograph stillborn and terminally ill babies, to create a cherished keepsake for their parents, Sandy Puc' shows why, in addition to being a great outlet for creative expression and a means to earning a living, children's portraiture can be a great humanitarian venture.

With its marriage of technical tips and creatively charged images, The Sandy Puc' Guide to Children's Portrait Photography (http://www.amherstmedia.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AM&Product_Code=1859) not only clearly shows how to create great portraits and make money doing so, but how to be a great photographer who can change the lives they touch for the better. The book is available at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Sandy-Guide-Childrens-Portrait-Photography/dp/1584282347/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1209415511&sr=1-1).
