Summary:

Nylora Bruleigh's presentation of Fine Art Portrait Photography perfectly depicts her creativity and ingenuity. Photographers by their very nature are creative, but Nylora takes it more than a step beyond the norm. Her patience and diligence in creating images such as “Awaiting True Love's Kiss" with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, “Elegant Egrets", “Waiting in Suspense", “Queen of Hearts", “Black and White" and “Who's the Fairest of Them All?" are just a few examples of her creativity and perseverance. Not only does she show her before and after images for all of the photographs in this book, she also gives a thorough explanation as to how she took the thought process through from the initial idea to fruition. She tells how, before coming up with a theme for a portrait session, she will scour yard sales or visit antique shops to find just the right prop for a future session. The wheels of her mind are in constant motion, sometimes even awakening her in the middle of the night, giving her new concepts with which to experiment.
