5.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory resource for any serious amateur or pro photograph, September 17, 1999
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: PRO LIGHTING SERIES: PORTRAITS (Paperback)
This is by far the best book of it's kind. Excellent diagrams and descriptions walk you through the "hows", but more importantly the "whys" of creating dramatic and interesting lighting effects. A variety of set ups are used from existing light to 7-light set ups. Tungsten, strobe and quartz lighting, and even camera mounted flash examples are given. I would've liked a little more information on how to meter the various scenes and occasionally more description of how certain unusual effects were created but it is a mandatory resource for anyone who is serious about their portraiture and wants to be able to expand their current repetoir.

4.0 out of 5 stars fabulously informative, with interesting examples, February 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: PRO LIGHTING SERIES: PORTRAITS (Paperback)
Of all my photography books, this is the one that did me the most good. The examples are excellent, ranging from traditional to exotic, with really good lighting diagrams, that are actually reasonably reproducable. Some of the examples take a full studio setup, but mostly there is a wide range of equipment and techniques. And for once, the pictures are good, not 70-s looking faux playboy shots. Between this and the "New Glamour" book, I would be willing to buy any book in this series sight unseen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not For The Amatuer, February 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: PRO LIGHTING SERIES: PORTRAITS (Paperback)
This outstanding book title says it all...with an emphasis on PRO. With few exceptions this book addresses studio lighting. The lighting techniques are explained well and in detail. However you will need significant lighting equipment to employ the techniques identified.
