Among the many historic photographs at which I’ve stared over the years, this fabulous one of Bull Chief ranks near the top. Born about 1825 and hailed widely for his bravery and wisdom, Bull Chief and his fellow Apsaroke tribe members ranged across the region that later became Montana and Wyoming.
Probably made in the early 1900’s, this portrait was taken by that avid photographic chronicler of the once-wild American West, Edward S. Curtis.
This is our new blog on portraiture - our second book with Focal Press. Here you will find tips, examples, and anything else that we think is important about the extraordinarily gratifying and sometimes frustrating business of making great people-pictures. From street to studio, we'll be posting info about portraiture that we hope you will find useful.
I, Steve, have for the last 20 plus years shot advertising and editorial assignments for such clients as IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Newsweek and such dignified public figures as Justice Sandra Day O'Conner, Colin Powell and David Gregory.
I, Paul, have worked for more years than I would like to remember, doing street and environmental photography around the world.
We, along with our friend Fil Hunter, are co-authors of Light - Science and Magic, An Introduction to Photographic Lighting, Third Edition. It's also available from Focal Press.
