5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 6 Sep 2006

By	Amateur photographer, professional programmer... (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but worth 4.5 stars anyway, 25 Feb 2008

By	Ray "Ray" (UK) - See all my reviews

Had this book for a while now, I quite like this book. It is illustrated with modern images, includes posing and lighting tips on men, women and children.

It is not a hard core technical posing and lighting manual, it does not have lighting diagrams. It is probably more of an ideas and tips book than a book you would study. I find it quite enjoyable to just flick through the pages and pick up ideas from it.

One minor criticism of this book is I think some of the explanations are not completely accurate. eg "A gobo (a patterned stencil-like sheet of acetate) is attached to the front of a spot light. Because the light from the spot is focused by passing through glass elements, the pattern on the gobo is projected onto the background or subject" What?! As far as I know, gobo is just short for "go between" and is anything placed in the path of the light to modify it eg some cards, diffuser or something.
