Re: Book recommendation, studio portraiture

2003-07-17 by Doug I.

I'll add "Photographing People: Portraits, Fashion, Glamour" from
RotoVision, by Roger Hicks, Fraces Schultz, Alex Larg & Jane Wood. Nice
hardcover that covers a wide variety of situations and styles from window
light to complex studio setups, with overhead and side view lighting
diagrams and blurbs on each. I like that it works backwards from real photos
by working pros, vs. setting up the shots to illustrate a technique.
