Book Description:
Time-tested lighting strategies that will improve the quality of a portrait are detailed in this book for beginning photographers. Terminology used by industry pros is explained, the equipment needed to create professional results is outlined, and the unique role that each element of the lighting setup plays in the studio is explored. Photographers learn how color, direction, form, and contrast affect the final portrait. The concise text, photo examples, and lighting diagrams enable photographers to easily achieve traditional lighting styles that have been the basis of good portraiture since the advent of the art.

- Master Lighting Guide
I purchased this book based on the recommendation of another photographer. I have found the book to be well written with excellent illustrations and guides. The only shortcoming, if it can be called such, is the persistant reference to film based cameras and their settings and controls. The text seems to have been written more to help someone who uses, or used, film and has little experience with a digital camera. This does NOT make the information any less relevant, just a little harder to grasp on the initial reading. With study and persistant application of the lessons, I found, and continue to find, the book to be very helpful. I am quite glad I ordered it and would give it very good marks.

- Really Capable and with fine and Comprehensive Setup's
This is a book that you must have, If you are interested in Studio and Portraits. As far as I red other book reviews, very often people are asking for good setups and details. Here we are with someone who was aming open the secrets. You have a lot of really good and standards examples and fine technics.

- Great Instruction Manual
There are only a few books that I find myself going back to reference over and over. This is one of them. Many light placement diagrams with the resultant photo make this an excellent quick reference guide. The author stimulates the reader to attempt new combinations.
My only objection is the use of many white bookends. Those are not staples in most studios. Also, reflectors do not accomplish the same result. I would have preferred more diagrams without the bookends. Maybe I will buy my own now. But, where to store them.
