This is an excellent guide to portrait photography. I've bought several books and I wish I'd seen this book first.
Only a small proportion of the book is about posing but what there is is very useful. The photos generally have a very contempory feel to them.
Most of the book is about studio lighting and is well written and illustrated.
Two very minor criticisms - the book is peppered with annoying typos that disrupt the flow and diagrams showing the lighting for each picture would have been useful. But overall the book is excellent so these don't matter very much.
All in all, highly recommended.

This is the first book I have ever read on flash/studio photography and I am a little disappointed. The coverage of equipment is quite sparten, with no real guidance on how to use flash meters.
The various lighting set-ups lacked diagrams, which I would have prefered to see (as a newbe).
If I had had a chance to look at this book in a bookshop first, before ordering it, I would not have chosen it.

Well written but someone who is a master in the field. Shows you ways around common problems and provides lots of instruction and inspiration. Easy to read and refer to, would have liked some more studio set ups with less lights suitable for the mobile portrait photographer as well as for using in a full studio.

Atrocious
This is the first time I've given less than a 4 star review. This book is absolutely awful. If you're looking for incredibly corny poses that look like they're out of an American... Read more
