Family Portraits by David Daye (Grade - C)
Family Portraits by David Daye is a practical and visually rich guide to the art of professional family portrait photography. As part of the acclaimed Professional Photography Series by Rotovision, the book provides photographers with expert techniques for creating natural, expressive, and timeless family portraits across every age group—from newborns and toddlers to teenagers, parents, grandparents, and large family gatherings. Rather than focusing solely on camera settings, Daye emphasizes communication, posing, composition, lighting, and the psychology of working with families to capture genuine relationships and emotions. The book offers practical advice on photographing energetic children, directing large family groups, flattering older subjects with sensitive lighting, choosing backgrounds, coordinating clothing, and creating relaxed, authentic expressions. Each featured image is accompanied by concise technical notes explaining lighting setups, composition, exposure, and creative decisions, making it an invaluable learning resource for both aspiring and professional portrait photographers. Richly illustrated with 90 colour and 30 black-and-white photographs, Family Portraits serves as both an instructional manual and a source of creative inspiration for studio and location portrait photography.
