"This is the inspirational and practical guide to shooting fashion in a wide range of settings and styles, with emphasis on the use of lighting, rather than digital processing, to create a specific feel and look. The fashion genres of photography is arguably the most challenging and competitive. Also, fashion is the subject that most students want to specialize in.Some of the images in this fully illustrated book you will love more, some maybe less, but all these images have a "spark", something inspirational. This book offers you the techniques that you can use to create your shots."--NeoPopRealismJournal.com
"This book is an inspirational and practical guide to shooting fashion in a wide range of styles and settings, with emphasis on the use of lighting, rather than digital processing, to create a specific look and feel. Photography is all about light. Of all the genres of photography, fashion is arguably the most challenging and very competitive. And fashion is the subject that most students want to specialize in. The photography constantly evolving and redefining itself, and inherently more open to experimentation and personal expression than many other genres. Some of the images in this book you will love more, some maybe less, but all of them have a "spark", something that inspires you. This title offers the techniques that you can borrow to create your shots."--Wonderpedia.WetPaint.com
"This book is an asset to any bookshelf but really should be a table book. There are 50 artsy pictures taken by impeccable photographers. The make-up on these models is fabulous, and the clothing creates scenes from different eras, but lighting is the key enabling us to see the beauty. Light creates mood, and fashion photographers are highly skilled at utilizing it - as these pictures expose. This book is an inspirational and practical guide to shooting fashion in a wide range of styles and settings with the emphasis on the use of lighting, rather than digital processing, to create a specific look or feel. Some of the images tap into your creativity, while others may not be for you, but one thing for sure: all of these pictures are exciting and dramatic. It is easy to focus on the eyecatching models, but it's hard to imagine these photos without the exceptionally skilled photographers who control the fashion shoot."--City Book Review.com

This is a great resource book for advanced photographers. Like 'Lighting for Portrait Photography' by Steve Bavister it is a book of images accompanied by lighting diagrams but the lighting is much more interesting.
Perhaps not all the images will be to everyone's liking but knowing how to create the lighting effects will surely prove useful. I've been shooting with increasingly complex set-ups in the studio and I always want to find new ways to work. For a while I've been finding that too many photography books aim at beginners and don't really offer much beyond that. This is the first book that I've seen for ages that shows more ambitious and complex lighting ideas. It doesn't waste chapters droning on about gear so the bulk of the volume is useful. If you're coming to this book you know the difference between a beauty dish and an umbrella.
OK, some of the quotes from photographers are a bit pretentious but, frankly, I didn't really buy it for the text: you can use this book in seconds because of its visual design and that's what I like best about it.
It's far more interesting and educational that the majority of the portraiture books out there: let's face it, fashion portraiture is where it's happening creatively!

Good book with some excellent 'how to light it' diagrams. Although many of these set ups are beyond the average studio space or photographers equipment bag, still great to see how it was done, and easy to adapt to own personal projects.

This is a fairly good book, which provides a short introduction to lighting technique and is a good reference. The images aren't inspirational but aren't cringeworthy either. This would give a good grounding for people to look at photographs in magazines etc. and be able to work out roughly what lighting was used.

A Handy Lighting Guide
A nice little guide to lighting, the reason for the missing star is simply that the images are not all that inspiring but overall a good read.
