Negative Positive
Title: Not that great.
Review: I got this book based on the other reviews on this site. I thought it would be very in-depth and helpful, but it turned out to be quite boring in my opinion. The book is a compilation of photographs done by various photographers and their comments regarding the image. Some are helpful, while others are very ambiguous such as, "I wanted to make her look like she was flying because the couture dress she was wearing felt very airy" or something to that effect. Some pictures have diagrams, others don't. Basically the photographers said whatever they felt like saying about their image, which many times ended sounding like a lot of fashion photographer fluff.If you want a more helpful and informative book of lighting diagrams with explanations then check outPhotographing People: Portraits, Fashion, Glamour. It has WAY more examples and a larger variety as well.
