Краткое описание: Paul Ott zahlt zu den profiliertesten europaischen Architekturfotografen der Gegenwart. Seine Dokumentationen zeitgenossischer Architektur werden in zahlreichen internationalen Fachzeitschriften und Buchern veroffentlicht. Otts Fotos vermitteln jedoch stets mehr als die blose Physiognomie von Gebauden.

Краткое описание: Boudoir photography does not require its subject to be a beautiful, physically flawless woman. It does not require the use of extravagantly expensive equipments, props, and studio space. In fact, the very essence of boudoir photography is the idea that its subject is not a professional model and is not even necessarily in the boudoir. No longer confined to the idea of heavy makeup, lingerie, and the bedroom, the new age of boudoir photography is casual, sensual, and sexy. That is the premise behind Digital Boudoir Photography. Firmly grasping the freedom that digital photography affords, this book offers tips and techniques that allow anyone with a digital camera the ability to take attractive photographs of any woman.
