How do you create a portrait that truly captures a person? We get 14 different – and deeply inspiring – answers to that question in this book, where some of Scandinavia’s most renowned photographers open up about their working methods, thoughts and technical approaches.
Through inspiring and detailed conversations, we are invited into the process behind the camera. Here, the photographers share their personal approach to everything from preparation and meeting the person portrayed, to choosing a location, lighting and any instructions – and how they work with the images in the editing phase.
Each photographer contributes with their own perspective, experience and way of working. It is precisely the differences that are the book’s strength.
