 Great Portrait photography book October 7, 2008
G. Jones (Florida)
Great book for begining portrait photographers or pro that need more ideas. I also have Monte Zuckers portrait book and I think this book is even better.
He starts out explaining the basic equipment you need for portraits. Cameras, lens, lights, and light modifiers. Then explains basic posing from the how to place the feet for good support to the tilt of the head. From the best clothes to trouble shooting problems like what to do with eyeglasses, double chins, overweight and a bald head. The book has many pages on lighting, 45 degree lighting with 4 lights, narrow and broad lighting, to split lighting and butterfly lighting.
I also recommend "Master Posing Guide for Portrait Photography" by J.D. Wacker. With these two books you have a good understanding of posing and lighting. Neither book is a complete study in portraiture but you have a great start.
Hits all the bases - a home run! May 7, 2008
granger (Ithaca, NY USA)
I've got several books on lighting, portraiture, posing, etc. This is the best of them all. Its got the best all around coverage of any book I've seen. And it has a great section on posing. Its clearly written and has super examples.
BUT, there are no lighting diagrams if that's what you're looking for. For that I'd recommend Grey's Master Lighting Guide. It will take you the next step when you're ready to get more technical and fine tune your skills.

Want to be a portrait photographer? Here's the starting line. March 27, 2008
Timothy Skipper (Dothan, AL)
If you have the desire to shoot portrait photography, then you want to own this book. Its not the end all of every book on photography, but when you want to know how to do short lighting, or your a professional wanting to brush up on the basics, this book will be your go to book.
Well written, lots of samples, and practical, useable advice. It is an excellent book on setting up and using strobes to create portraits that will wow your subjects.
 Great ideas for better portraits September 19, 2007
S. LaBossiere (San Diego, CA)
Taking portraits is a hobby of mine. I have a studio set up in my house. The author has really good ideas for improving portraits. Although I already have about 6 other books on portraiture, I'm learning good things from this book. He shares simple tips from his years of experience. It's better than most of the other books I've already got. Many examples of poses are given which I am finding helpful.
