 Great Book, Great Photo's March 18, 2004

The problem with most guidebooks I've seen is that they don't really explain how the photo was lit and the photos aren't actually very good. This book is different. The diagrams and explanations are very clear and easy to follow. The photos are all very contemporary and of a consistently high standard. I have found this book very useful and would highly recommend it.
The best I've found so far September 17, 2007

I've bought a number of books to try and understand how lighting works for portraits. This is my favourite. Not only are the photos very contemporary but I have found them really inspirational. The book lays out the lighting with a 3D plan and a plan view looking from above. It also talks about styling / stylists as well as the usual equipment explanations. I haven't found a better book yet. 'Nuff said really.
Great book, beautiful pictures November 9, 2007

I bought this along with several other books on lighting in general and particularly studio lighting as I am setting up my own studio.
This book is packed full of beautiful and professional images from front to back. If you are looking for a book that shows you a lighting setup and how that translates to the final image this is the book for you.
A simple key is used on all images to show you the type of light, number, lens and aperture and this is consistent throughout. Shows you difference between natural and studio light and how the number of lights gives you more choice. Rather refreshingly though there is a focus on keeping it simple. Most of the images can be recreated with one or two lights and a reflector so even beginners can get started.
I have books on the technical details of light and lighting and they are very useful, but if you're more visual this book will help you along, or at the very least inspire you to shoot some great images.
