Title: Not What I Thought It Would Be
Review: This book definately did not live up to its average four star rating. As a pro photographer I can tell you that it lacked any detail regarding exposures, exact positions and angles of lighting, posing techniques and a number of other important areas of portraiture. A number of the examples were written in German, many of the lighting products were from Europe, and only one of the photographers profiled was from the U.S., which is important in regards to accepted styles.If you want basic pictures of lighting set-ups and ideas for using films that are no longer very popular, this is the book for you.
