Résumé

Portrait Photography: Focal Length, Color, and the Architecture of the PortraitEvery portrait rests on two decisions most photographers make separately: which lens to use, and what color story to tell. This book argues they're really one decision, and shows you how to make it that way. Built around the Canon RF system, five lenses anchor the discussion: the 28mm for environmental work, the 50mm for natural, unaffected portraiture, the 85mm for classical flattery, the 100mm for compression with macro precision, and the 135mm for maximum isolation and atmospheric depth.
Each chapter breaks down what a focal length actually does optically, where it works, and the specific color grading approach that reinforces rather than fights its character. Before the lens chapters, a full grounding in color theory: the color wheel, harmony systems, tonal psychology, and five working principles of color grading, all written for photographers, not colorists. Drawn from independent study and hands-on shooting rather than studio textbook theory, this is a practical, opinionated field guide for photographers who want their optical choices and their color choices pulling in the same direction.
Christian Bittencourt, born in 1965 in São Paulo, is a citizen of the world who has spent many years trying to absorb the entire planet without ever ceasing to be entirely himself. A trained engineer with a Master of Science degree from University College London, he lived and worked in ten different countries for fifteen years - long enough for cultures, languages, and radically different ways of seeing life to leave real marks on him, far beyond mere travel memories.
In every new country, Christian did not merely observe - he internalized, deconstructed, and integrated. With a sharp and adaptable mind, he learned to move fluidly between vastly different universes, carrying the world with him without being carried away by it. At a certain point in this journey, a necessary fracture occurred. What followed was more than a decade of serious and committed inner exploration - not as an escape, but as the most honest of his quests.
With the same intensity he once applied to his professional life, he dedicated himself to personal development across multiple fronts. Awakened by his Scorpionic nature (Snake in the Chinese zodiac) - revealed in the depth and intensity with which he surrenders to any subject worthy of his attention - Christian is someone who has never separated experience from consciousness, nor the outer world he has acquired from the inner world he continues to build.
