Corrective Lighting and Posing Techniques for Portrait Photographers 4 reviews Jeff Smith
Amherst Media, 2000
Excellent and Down to Earth
+ Senior Portrait Specialist + A good glimpse into a contemporary portrait studio
This is a very refreshing guide to portrait photography for its focus on the imperfections of people, and how to manage them in the studio. Many other books and articles on portraiture may address these issues partially, but still tend to have images of very thin models with perfect skin, hair and ...

Image: Designing Effective Pictures (Amphoto Photography Workshop Series) 3 reviews Michael Freeman

I've been searching for this book for a long ever since seeing it at the library when I was 10. The book explains easier topics such as contrast, but it delves into far more complex topics such as balance, lighting, perspective, and color. This book is meant to be studied and reread multiple times. ...

Photographic Composition 24 reviews Tom Grill, Mark Scanlon

One of the most useful books I've ever read
Generally, I'm not much of a review writer. I'm not that eloquent, easily bored, and lazy in the extreme. This particular book, however, merits an exception.
To put it succinctly, it's one of the best photography books I've ever come across and I've come across quite a few of 'em.
Despite ...
