Overview

Tim Walden's photographic forte is capturing relationship images—emotionally resonant images that show the connection between subjects. To achieve this goal, he strives to proceed through a three step portrait process: capture, adjust, and refine. He studies the clients and does not push the shutter button until he sees some magic unfold. If the clients are still ""in the moment,"" he may make a slight adjustment to the pose or lighting and capture a second, slightly varied image. If the subjects are still enthralled at that point, he will make a further refinement, producing a portrait that, in Tim's mind, is the pinnacle shot—the dynamic, emotionally evocative, storytelling images he strives for. In this book, Tim presents over 60 images from some of his most memorable sessions, sharing with readers tips for capturing moments, enhancing the presentation, and truly amplifying the artistry of the capture to produce a fine­art image that will be cherished for generations. AUTHOR: Tim Walden took over Walden's Photography from his father in 1980, taking the studio in an entirely different direction when they developed their trademark ""Relationship"" Black and White Fine Art portraiture. Today, Tim runs a high­end studio, providing beautifully crafted portraits in an elegant studio with impeccable customer service. The Walden's clientele know when they come to Walden's Photography that they will leave with a masterpiece that celebrates their loved ones in the most beautiful way possible. In addition to holding the degrees of Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman from the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), Tim is also a Certified Professional Photographer and earned the Fellowship from the American Society of Photographers. He was President of PPA in 2012­2013 and Chairman of the Board in 2013­2014. His awards and contributions to professional photography are extensive.
