Yoda said Provides good advice but could have done more. This reviewer's main criticism of this book is that it does not provide as much in-depth advice as it should regarding the many portraiture techniques (i.e., lighting, angles, etc.) covered. Each section should have been expanded a few pages. This is primarily due to the fact that the book is only 160 pages in length but also due to the fact that the author spends too much time on subjects such as hot to get model releases.Nevertheless, the book does provide many useful hints and advise relating to portraiture techniques.

Sullivan First off, let me advise Bryan Peterson fans that "Beyond Portraiture" is not a totally new book, but a revision of his 1993 book "People in Focus" with some digital photos, hints and a Photoshop chapter added. A lot of the text is word-for-word from "People in Focus", complete with gramatical errors and typos that have not been changed. Many of the pictures are the same. So, if you already own "People in Focus" and you're shooting film, or you are into digital but already have a good knowledge of your photo editing system, you may be greatly .
