How to Pose Portraits: Our Brand New eBook Launches Today

30 Jan

NewImageToday I’m excited to announce a brand new dPS eBook – Portraits: Striking the Pose – an eBook created with the sole purpose of helping you pose amazing portraits.

Posing is something that can make or break a portrait.

  • Do it badly and your subject looks awkward and the resulting image is spoiled.
  • Do it well and your subject will be at ease and their true character will shine through.

That is what this eBook is all about.

Inside this beautifully designed and illustrated eBook world class photographer (and author) – Gina Milicia – walks you through how she connect with and directs her subjects to take stunning portraits that show their true character.

Gina has photographed thousands of subjects over her 25 years as a professional photographer and in this eBook draws on this experience to give you a great mix of inspiration but also actionable tips that you can start practicing on those you photograph immediately.

Here is a quick peek inside.

Portraits: Striking the Pose is broken down into three sections:

  • The Rules: The golden rules of great poses. Using visual queues, praise, energy and authenticity and much more.
  • The Gear: Whilst covered more comprehensively in Gina’s previous book ‘Making The Shot‘, Gina will remind you what sort of gear you should be looking for to capture great portraits
  • The Way: The most chunky part of the book. Gina will show you how to connect with people, organise and direct like a pro. She then dives into specific details of different posing scenarios (men, women, children, couples, groups and more) with loads of examples for you to refer bad to again and again.

Prismatic Launches iOS Version 2.0

20 Dec

Prismatic for iOS
Prismatic 2.0 for iOS released this morning.

I’ve been a big fan of the news aggregator Prismatic ever since it originally launched on the web. As far as I’m concerned, there is no better site on the internet today for aggregating all of the news stories that *I* care about than Prismatic. It’s the ultimate personalized news feed.

On Prismatic, I enter my interests (subjects, topics, companies, people, TV shows, etc.) and Prismatic offers me up a daily feed of pretty accurate stories that I will be interested in. Prismatic has completely replaced my old RSS reader for me and is my go to place each day to view my favorite stories, personally tailored to my interests. The design is fast and elegant and easy to use. Prismatic currently indexes 5 million new stories every day and contains over 10,000 interests you can follow.

Prismatic for iOS

On Prismatic I can like or dislike stories and Prismatic uses a machine learning algorithm to tailor my future posts even more to my interests.

With the new iOS version Prismatic gets even more social than it’s been in the past. I can follow people and things that my friends like are included in the algorithm for what I’m presented.

While I spend a lot of time working on my photos or spending time on social networks when I’m on my computer, Prismatic is the perfect companion to my iPhone, where I want to quickly find great articles that interest me while I’m on my commute or walking around mobile. You can easily share stories you find and like directly from Prismatic to Twitter or Facebook.

Congrats to Bradford Cross and his team at Prismatic on today’s launch. Go get the new Prismatic for iOS in the APP store and check it out. I think you’ll be impressed by how many great stories are personalized to you — especially great photography stories. :)
