With more than 100 diagrammed lighting setups and eight shots showing the effect on the final image-this manual is a must-have for studio portrait photographers. In addition to the advice on equipment and on achieving a particular look, this reference confronts one of the major challenges faced by portrait photographers: matching the lighting to a model's skin. It demonstrates every conceivable lighting setup on four models of varying skin tones, making it easy to plan a shoot.
