    A guide to Classic Portraiture

    I stuck this in another post, but thought it might be better placed here.

    Joe Zeltsman wrote a very good piece on classic portraiture. Most of his work was from the purely film days and he was just making the migration over to digital when he passed away about two years ago. There is still plenty of good information though in what he wrote to learn from if you want to learn to make great portraits.

    AWESOME website Tony, thanks for putting it up. I'm not sure how long I'll use it, but I hope it stays up a while.

    That is sure a great legacy to leave behind!

    That is a great resource. I've had it bookmarked for many years, although the content seems to have been bounced around from one site to another. Nice to see someone hosting it again.
