 Missleading diagrams July 25, 2008
Photographing People: Portraits, Fashion, Glamour (Revised Edition): Portraits, Fashion, Glamour At first glance this seems lake an interesting book with some very powerful portraits. However closer examination reveals that the author has an over active imagination when it comes to translating the lighting set up used by the photographer with the diagram. The givaway is in the shadows. In too many cases the diagrams suggest the set up was the complete reverse of that depicted. Shadows are on the wrong side or are too harsh for the set up or to short or long for the position of the lights. These mistakes distract greatly from the value of the book as a source of accurate information. If you want to learn how to set up studio lighting, get a basic primer on the subject.
 A trip down memory lane?! January 11, 2008

Reading this book makes you feel like you've gone back a decade or so, and you're no longer in the very real world of digitial photography. Examples are old-hat, film-based, and fairly pedestrian. There's also a healthy smattering of pseudo-artistic waffle from contributors, at the expense of more useful detail behind each example. Did they put the wrong publication date on this book??
 OK but no good for digital users December 28, 2007

This book has some great pictures of lighting set-ups and is useful for that but the resulting prints are not reflective of the techniques used. Most of the shots have been taken using medium format film cameras and the resulting print is more down to the processing and printing than the lighting used. I am also amazed at how many of the shots are out of focus and presume this has been done for arty effect. I think you would be better spending your money on a lighting course to get the best experience of lighting.
nice pics, good inspiration, poor detail March 13, 2007

there are some great pics in this book and it shows where to place your studio lights. the lighting set-ups cover everything from a simple on camera flash to several studio lights.
There is no technical information in this book, so if you want to know how to set up your lights you'll be somewhat dissapointed.
 Super book for lighting September 16, 2006

I have a lot of photography books, but this is one of my favourites. If you are serious about lighting portraits this is a must buy. It features a large number of top class portraits and shows you the lighting set up for each shot.
