The man; the music; the mythology - everyone knows Elvis; right? From the swinging hips and tempestuous love life to the peanut butter and banana sandwiches. But how do the iconic snapshots and the snippets of rumour match up with the truth about the man behind the legend? Michael Freedlands Elvis Memories sets out to answer precisely that question - and succeeds in grand style; giving us a rare and privileged glimpse into the intimate recollections of the people who really knew him. On a journey that spans the United States; Freedland introduces us to Presleys friends; family and followers; taking in the kids who competed against him in childhood talent shows; the members of the Memphis Mafia who went everywhere with him and the maid who prepared those infamous sandwiches and watched him line up the girls he wanted to take to his bed. Thirty-five years after the death of the man we still call The King; Elvis Memories offers a unique chance to see the real Elvis Presley through the eyes of those who shared his life.

Just as it is important to build a house on a good foundation; so it is with your photography.The book provides you with some excellent starting points. The Authors give you sound and practical advice on everything from lens selection to selecting locations. There is technical information provided as a starting point but it is not overweleming. Also look at the examples of how to pose large family groups. The book could be used as a texbook by a group of photographers who want to try self study.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A great resource for any photographer considering this genreBy Gina MariePhotographing Families is a wonderful resource for any photographer interested in this field. I am a seasoned wedding photographer who has worked exclusively with couples and events but I have wanted to extend my services to add family sessions and this book has been just what I have been looking for!The focus is on posing and lighting which can be very difficult if you arent experienced but the book includes tons of examples along with Tammys explanation of where; why; and how she chose the poses and lighting in each situation. There are unique scenarios as well; such as working with handicapped children; including pets; props; maternity sessions; and more.Ms. Warnocks photography is a beautiful example of family portraits. You will see what todays clients want in family portraiture and all images are accompanied by camera and lens data and flash settings. With this handy resource; I feel more than confident in adding family sessions to my studio services.
