Product Description

Digital Photographer, March 2007

"A fantastic resource for teaching yourself the basics of the portrait genre in an easy-to-follow manner."

Product Description

The phenomenally successful "Photographing People" owed its success to its inspiring and comprehensive showcase of professional lighting techniques featuring exciting and innovative work from photographers around the world. Now available in a revised and updated paperback edition, it covers the genres of portraits, fashion and glamour photography with depth and clarity. Although a vast range and diversity of work is on display, the key element in each shot is the lighting. For every featured photograph, the lighting setup is illustrated by helpful 3D diagrams, along with expert explanations and advice on potential problems that might arise, alongside suggested solutions. This book is therefore a unique source of information and inspiration for the keen amateur and the established professional alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile text for those interested in studio photography, 28 Jul 2002

By	Beacon Dave "beacon dave" (Lancaster, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Photographing People: Portraits, Fashion, Glamour (Pro-lighting) (Hardcover)

A great book for people looking for inspirations for portrait photography work. It's the sort of book that wants you to reach for your camera and try a few set-ups out. Ideal for people like myself who have just completed a short studio/location course, and are comfortable with the basic principles, who want to adventure out from the run of the mill portrait lighting set-ups.

On a similar note, also a great book for teachers of photography, wanting to demonstrate a variety of portrait lighting set-ups, to their students.

Each full page photograph is accompanied by a page showing positions of lights / reflectors used, relative to the subject being photographed, along with brief technical info and a short description of the main aspects of the shot.

Equipment used ranges from the sun and single light sources, to multi studio flash head setups (10 in one instance). Lots of large polystyrene bounces being used so get down to your builder's for some sheets of polystyrene insulation material.

There's an equipment glossary at the start, which is useful if you aren't familier with basic studio lighting terminology.

I feel it's let down ever so slightly by the fact that although it gives exposure details for some of the shots, there is no indication of what power of light is being used, or an indication of the lighting ratios being used. Although a lot of this can be worked out by trial and error, I think it would useful to know beforehand whether or not four heads are really neccessary to wash out a simple background or seven softboxes to provide a soft front light.

A very worthwhile book to have if you are into portrait photography.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good for professionals or people just interested, 18 Jan 2005

By	"genyuden1" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Photographing People: Portraits, Fashion, Glamour (Pro-lighting) (Hardcover)

I have found this book so far to be a very interesting and informatic read. I have found it useful and very helpful when using my studio, but i fear that is the only reason I feel it is good, because i actually have the equipment to do the stuff inside of it. Some of the pictures inside need 6 or more studio flash's with softboxs etc, and most people do not own that. If you do own that, this book is the best avalible, but if not im afraid it makes no more than a very good tea-table book of some nice art.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice pics, good inspiration, poor detail, 13 Mar 2007

By	grewy (UK) - See all my reviews

there are some great pics in this book and it shows where to place your studio lights. the lighting set-ups cover everything from a simple on camera flash to several studio lights.

There is no technical information in this book, so if you want to know how to set up your lights you'll be somewhat dissapointed.
