If you are a photographer seeking ways to become more visible in your community, or are interested in creating fine-art portraiture, this is your technical bible. AUTHOR: Nylora-Joy Bruleigh had owned a successful photography studio specializing in "Bellies and Babies" portraits for ten years when she felt she needed to change it up a bit. She was inspired by other artist's fine art imagery and decided that this was the direction she wanted to take. She began by researching work that truly inspired her and was fortunate to have opportunities to study and learn from some of these people. She began focusing on a variety of different photographic techniques, diving deeper into Photoshop, and taking many notes of her dreams that she would later use to design her photographic images. REVIEWS: "Her technical skills and talent combine to create imaginative work that is ever-changing." - Steve Bedell, M Photog. Cr and international print juror.
