Each image is accompanied by full technical details of the camara used, the type of film and the lens needed, together with the exposure and lighting required to achieve the shot. Both technical diagrams and jargon-free text explain the process. A glossary of terms adds additional information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, BUT..., August 28, 2002

By	Chris (Tulsa, OK) - See all my reviews

As the latest from the Rotovision series, this IS an excellent book, BUT it is a compliation from the very popular Pro-Lighting series (which I already own). If you haven't purchased any of the books in this series, I would not hesitate to get this one! If you already have Portraits, Fashion, Glamour or New Glamour, you already have what this is made up of.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding! My favorite portrait & fashion lighting book, January 31, 2004

By	"arizona_dan" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

I love this book! I am a self taught photographer with over 20 years of experience. Almost everything I know about photography has come from reading books or trial and error. Most of the books I have read stated that they contained "everything I needed to know" or they were "packed with information" etc. etc. blah, blah, blah! Usually thay were OK for beginners containing only basic information and lacked real substance. Well this book is the real deal! Great photography and loads of lighting techniques from very simple to complex. Most of the photographs occupy a page all by themselves with little or no distracting text. An explaination of the complete lighting set up with a detailed diagram is on the adjoining page. The quality of the printing is great, allowing you to reap the full benefits of what a book on photography should be. This book is a wealth of information for photographers who want to take their lighting skills to a higher level.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, November 18, 2004

By	Clickred - See all my reviews

For any beginner, amateur or even a professional interested in portraits and/or glamour, this book can prove to be an extremly helpful learning tool. The book shows you the pictures taken along with lighting setups and explanations from the photographer himself. The book does not teach you the technical aspects of lighting such as the colour balance and light temp, but instead talks about how each photographer used thier creativity and innovation to capture images in situations. It is a great book to experiment from and through which you will learn tremendously. a must have.
