This review is from: Erotica: A Guide to Professional Lighting Techniques (Pro-Lighting) (Paperback)

It's difficult to give any of the Pro-Lighting series books a fair review in comparison to other photography and lighting books. This is a tutorial by example and inspiration. About half of the shots require very sophisticated equipment and set-ups, while the others are simpler. What's most useful about any of the books in this series are the detailed lighting diagrams and the information on the film used as well as photographer's notes. After that, these books help spark your own creativity. This is why I say you should own at least one book in this series. I've noticed that the Pro-Lighting books that have nudity seem to have higher average ratings. Coincidence or not, I don't know. However, from the ones I've looked at, Erotica, Fashion and Glamour seem to be the most creative and interesting. New Glamour is not as good as the original Glamour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Please put a star in this book, November 18, 2000

This review is from: Erotica: A Guide to Professional Lighting Techniques (Pro-Lighting) (Paperback)

I'm a nude photographer in Bandung Indonesia and I got most of Pro-Lighting series about nudity. Firstable, you should understand the subject among nude, naked and erotic. Nude is a basic one to explore shape and form and naked - erotic is about a mood in nude photographs like sensual mood or seducing. You may read other Pro-Lighting series for comparison such as NUDES and PROVOCATIVE SHOTS. I've noticed that the Pro-Lighting books that have nudity seem to have higher ratings. The photos are beautiful and the diagrams are very easy to catch if you want to follow the instructions.

Although most books show elaborate setups in a studio this book also shows the use of natural light. It is a good book that helps the reader think of different lighting ideas.
