Announcing the launch of “Portrait Classroom” - a brand new iPad App for aspiring photographers!

Owners of digital SLR (DSLR) cameras, many of them new parents, often ask: “Why aren’t my photos any better than the ones I took with my point and shoot camera” and, “Why don’t they look like the photos taken by professionals?”

Now, in a series of 10 tutorials, the all new ‘Portrait Classroom: Baby and Child Photography Tutorials’ App (currently available exclusively for the iPad) teaches camera owners how to take portraits of babies and children like a professional photographer!

PORTRAIT CLASSROOM: Baby and Child Photography Tutorials has been created by San Francisco Bay Area photographer Kim Binfield, to help anyone improve their photography. Available now from the iTunes App Store, for just $1.99, the App expertly describes from start to finish how to create stunning, keepsake portraits. Ten example portraits with detailed tutorial text and ‘before and after’ images describe how users can create similar portraits using their own digital SLR camera. Users of the App will learn about techniques and resources that will enable them to capture the images they’ve always wanted!

EACH TUTORIAL:
- Describes, in simple language, the set up for the portraits (including notes on composition and interacting with the subjects)
- Provides essential details on the camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed and aperture settings used
- Describes the portrait’s natural light and how to replicate it (no external flash systems or lighting are used for the portraits allowing amateur users ease of replication)
- Presents a full range of ‘before and after’ shots showing how the final image was obtained including shots straight out of the camera and through to post processing
- Details the editing steps taken in Adobe Photoshop that will often also apply to Photoshop Elements and similar editing programs

PORTRAIT CLASSROOM has been created for parents, hobbyists, and aspiring semi-pro photographers who want a hands-on guide to taking better pictures of babies and children. For those who have bought a DSLR camera but can’t get photos any better than their point-and-shoot camera, or if they are using their DSLR on ‘green’ auto mode, then this App is for them!

Users of PORTRAIT CLASSROOM will learn how to get professional looking results with their existing camera equipment and learn about additional photography gear, software and resources, much of it inexpensive, that can further enhance their portraits. Many of the tips included in the App can be applied to point-and-shoot cameras as well, though the App is geared more towards DSLR cameras.
