Whether enhancing a product with the model or showcasing the model with the photograph, these tips illustrate how to meet objectives through artistry and skill.

"A must-have book for the lover of the weird, the champion of the bizarre and the fan of the outrageous. If you are looking for a unique experience that will leave you equal parts stunned and nostalgic, frightened and amused, look no further."  —sacramentobookreview.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Lighting techniques for Model Portfolios, September 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lighting Techniques for Photographing Model Portfolios: Strategies for Digital Photographers (Paperback)
I purchased "Lighting Techniques for Photographing Model Portfolios: Strategies for Digital Photographers" for the purpose of drawing on a Digital Pros experience in lighting models in the digital arena. In that respect, the book did not disappoint. I have 2 decades of experience in 35 mm photography and finally went kicking and screaming into the digital era. If you are looking for an extensive book covering all aspects of photographic lighting, then this is not your book. If you are looking for a book to help you in the realm of head shot and glamour photography utilizing a pro-sumer or DSLR, or are looking for fresh ideas for lighting when shooting digital, then this book will serve you well. I commend the author and publisher on delivering a book that actually delivers what the title says!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photos and great instruction, July 13, 2009
This review is from: Lighting Techniques for Photographing Model Portfolios: Strategies for Digital Photographers (Paperback)
This book is the perfect compliment to Pegram's book on posing for models. As with other good lighting books, I really find the before-and-after shots to be immensely helpful and this book has many. There are also many 'practical examples' placed throughout the book where Pegram takes a specific scenario and explains every aspect of how he shot it. And, there are many lighting diagrams and a number of equipment shots.

If you loved his last book, you really need to get this one as well.
