As a proven do-it-yourselfer, I can recommend reading this material for understanding light ratios used in high key lighting. Over the years I stumbled with this and never figured it out on my own. I managed to achieve a style by accident but I never did find the right combination for glowing white portrait lighting. Now I have read just some of the first portion of this book and find it so very worth my money to have this explained to me I look forward to reading the rest and testing more.

I have learned portrait technique from some great professional photographers and I never uncovered this info until reading this book. My equipment is professional, my comfort with my skill level is moderate/intermediate but I am producing professional looking work with knowledge like this. Thanks to Norman.

This book gets a high recommendation from me. You will read this book and often say to yourself, "aw-ah". Lighting Techniques for High Key Portrait Photography is for those of you who are just starting out and those of you who have been at it a while and just can't quite achieve the results you are looking for. It's easy to read, easy to understand, offers great diagrams and wonderful examples. It will definitely help you take the guess work out of studio photography...aw-ah!!

This give all the info you need to get perfect High Key images. It gives all the light setup, type of backgrounds to use, model placement, and f/stop measurement. There are lot's of photo examples. Very well written.

I have been able to master most of the lighting set ups it want except of coarse for that challengeing one of high key. This book I found to be a real help with finally understanding why i never could really get the backgrounds gleaming white. This book explains well and gives specific instruction. A good book.

This book is great for a newbie but if you are a professional, don't bother. If you are just starting to learn about photography/lighting, I do recommend this book. I enjoyed reading it although I didn't take much from it.

After reading this book, it had fulfilled everything I had hoped for and then some. I was able to make better decisions and ultimately, better results. This is the book to get if you want to become versed in high key photography. Norman Phillips, through his writing style, techniques and examples, makes sure the reader becomes well educated on the subject. Like many of the reviews here, I think the feedback speaks for itself. This book truly sets the standard for high key.

I bought this book because of positive customer reviews and I was not disappointed after reading it myself. The author provides a very comprehensive and informative approach to just about every aspect of high key lighting techniques and none of it goes over your head. I definitely recommend this book to photographers at any level.

This book has indepth but easy to understand guidlines and instructions for high key photography. I would recommend it highly.
