2.0 out of 5 stars Brief Overview, July 11, 2000

By	Railgun - See all my reviews

This one is a little thin on content. Gives about a paragraph on every topic, but no detail on anything. You'd be better off buying a 2-3 books that give more detail on different topics like lighting, business, models, etc. Though a bit dated, John Kelly's "Successful Glamour Photography" is more useful and cheaper. "Part-Time Glamour Photography : Full-Time Income" is also a better buy. The photos are good, but the same handful of models are used throughout - no variety. As if they went out and shot the whole thing in a weekend and threw together some text. Get this only if you want a synopsis, but you could finish it in 10 minutes at the rack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raunchywear Approved Swimsuit Photography Bible, July 23, 2008

By	Raunchywear Swimwear and Lingerie "Raunchywea... (Adelaide, Australia) - See all my reviews

This guide is somewhat dated in the swimsuit model shots. They look like they were taken in the 80s. However lighting principles for photography haven't changed and this makes this guide a great primer for anyone interested in swimsuit photography. For Raunchywear Swimwear and Lingerie this is our bread and butter. The guide gives a personalised account of swimsuit and bikini photography best practice and I've found it invaluable to improve my photographic skill. Particularly the indoors and studio based shots where lighting is crucial.
Well worth the read and a good reference for critiquing your photographic work.
