Provides information on achieving accurate skin tones, one of the most
challenging tasks in digital photography. This book covers a range of skin:
women and men, young and old, various tones, in-studio and outdoors,
tattoos, and more. It includes step-by-step tutorials and before-and-after
illustrations to demonstrate the various techniques.

A practical guide to working with and creating digital photography of the
human face and form, Skin: The Complete Guide leads the reader through
step-by-step tutorials that illustrate various photography and software
techniques for creating enhancing images of all kinds of people in all kinds
of different settings. Intended primarily as a practical guide, the book
also serves as inspiration by showcasing exceptional work by a variety of
photographers and artists. Skin goes in depth on skin in ways no other book
has done: *Unlike other books on photographing people, it includes men and
women, in a wide range of ethnicities, skin tones, ages, and body types.
*Beyond the standard solo-model-in-studio situations found in "portrait
photography" books, Skin also includes unique compositions such as groups,
outdoors, and even promotional "headshots". Skin even gets you out of the
studio to also see how to shoot and retouch candid shots. *It teaches how to
handle body parts and features beyond just the face--even tattoos!

Skin does all of this from the point of view of digital photography,
discussing such areas as digital-specific lighting challenges and what can
and can't be done in post-process, including before-and-after illustrations.
Sample image files are provided on the companion CD for readers' use in
following the tutorials, plus equipment recommendations and technical
reference materials enhance and reinforce the instruction.
