Great Instruction Manual

There are only a few books that I find myself going back to reference over and over. This is one of them. Many light placement diagrams with the resultant photo make this an excellent quick reference guide. The author stimulates the reader to attempt new combinations.
My only objection is the use of many white bookends. Those are not staples in most studios. Also, reflectors do not accomplish the same result. I would have preferred more diagrams without the bookends. Maybe I will buy my own now. But, where to store them.

Really Capable and with fine and Comprehensive Setup's

This is a book that you must have, If you are interested in Studio and Portraits. As far as I red other book reviews, very often people are asking for good setups and details. Here we are with someone who was aming open the secrets. You have a lot of really good and standards examples and fine technics.

Visual learner

To those with learning disabilities as myself, having suffered a stroke, that use visuals for their input, this book was excellent in all it's methodologies of teaching lighting techniques!

First were the photos themselves, each was shown along with the lighting ratios, and the effect of the various lighting implements used for that particular mood or style of photo being expressed.

Next was a series of photos taken with the same lighting ratio, but with different equipment, showing just how illuminating light can be, and how a Softbox, Umbrella, and what have you can change and influence just how mood and intensity are controlled.

I highly recommend this book for it's excellence in handling the subject at hand...namely Portrait Lighting!
