Pros:
|
Clear diagrams of how shots are achieved
|
|
Cons:
|
Very little extra info
|
|
First off, let's list what this book won't cover
- Technicalities of using Studio Lighting
- Poses for models to use
What this book does cover though is inspirational shots, with short text on how they were achieved , plus a 3d diagram of lighting, camera & model positions. From this it gives you a good idea how to set up a similar shot.
Contents of the book are - Introduction
- Styling for Portraits
- Making Light Work
- Glossary of Lighting Terms
- Practicalities
- Outdoor/Ambient
- Simple Lighting
- Two Lights
- More Complex setups
The 1st 5 sections are covered in just 14 pages, leaving majority of book to real example of shots.
Book took about 60-90 mins to read in full. If you want in depth instructions this book is not for you. If you want to be inspired & pointed in the right direction, then it works a charm
