Product Description
Product Description
Fashion photography has always called for the maximum creative variety, with a constant pressure for photographers to produce fresh, exciting work with complicated, considered lighting and location design. Whether youre starting out or have many years of experience, this book is an accessible and varied way to explore the genre and pick up new ideas. Each of the 50 fashion photographs, from such famous names as Solve Sundsbo, is accompanied with complete details on how it was achieved with insights from the photographer, alongside a detailed 3D lighting diagram showing where all the equipment and props were placed. Armed with all this detail, its easy to see how photos were made, learn how to use equipment, and develop as a photographer. There is also an introduction to camera and lighting equipment, and a complete glossary of terminology.

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!

Format:Paperback
The book is very inspiring and one of the thing that I like the most is the fact that many of the photographer.. don't use high end equipment and the explanation of how the shot was done is very well done. I do recommend this book to beginners and professionals that look for different ideas and to learn how is been done.

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.

Reasonable introduction to lighting techniques
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. Read more
