This book is a great resource for photographers featuring the everyday work of four of America's top portrait photographers. There is something special about a portrait captured in black and white, something that allows the photographer to explore the subject’s mind and even the very soul itself. The simplistic nature of being monochromatic means that there is also a lot left for the viewer to create their own thoughts and vision about what they see in front of them. The focus is on tone and emotion. The stunning black and white timeless images reflect the individual talent of each photographer in capturing the connection they have created with their subjects. "Portraits" will inspire not only the beginner in the art of portrait photography, but also the most advanced and experienced photographers.
