Relationship Portraits: Capture Emotion in Black & White Photography Paperback – September 20, 2016

Tim Walden's book, Relationship Portraits, is an excellent resource that discusses the value and importance of connecting with the clients portrait photographers work with. Walden focuses on and demonstrates exactly why it is so important for portraitists to connect with their clients on a personal level in order to tell their story through the photograph.Relationship Portraits in not a story book with images. If one takes the time to read into the stories within, one will find a wealth of information regarding how and why Walden photographed each subject in a way that needs no words to tell their story. This book is about the heart and soul of portrait photography; it is a refreshing and unique perspective in a world of "how to" books in photography. Well done sir.

This is a nice book to provide inspirational ideas for portraits emotionally linking more than one subject. Tim provides his lighting formula, which is used repeatedly, as well as his insights about various nuances he considered with the various example portraits. Tim and his wife operate a successful portrait studio, as well as an online education business. Their solid success is proof that photography skills PLUS business skills make for the winning formula. This book doesn't delve into that area, however their business education products are available for purchase through their online education site.

I have always had great respect for the Walden's portrait work. I have always wished I could get inside inside their heads in order to better understand what it takes to capture an emotional connection in my family portraits; this book does just that. I'm so excited to take what they have shared in the book and apply it to my images.

Wonderful book, exceptional information. The Walden's are experts in their field of photography. It certainly helped me get a grasp on relationship photography but also achieve better lighting.

This is one of the best books on portraiture I have ever read. I like the examples and the explanations of lighting but also the aspect of showing a "relationship" photographically.

Tim Walden is the world's foremost black and white relationship portrait photographer! His courses in lighting are the best around and his books are treasured keepsakes in my photographic library!

Meh. The photos aren't that great, and some of the advice isn't either.

Love this book! Tim Walden is a master at capturing family relationships. Love his black and white work!
