Lighting for Portrait Photography
February 6th, 2009
As a learn-it-yourselfer, I like those books you can follow basically like a recipe. That doesn’t mean you will be able to replicate completely what you see, but the ones I’ve purchased mostly explain well enough how people got the results they got.
“Lighting for Portrait Photography” by Steve Bavister is no exception. I wish I had been able to get his “Lighting for Still Life” book also, but it was out of print last time I checked. Maybe I ought to try Ebay for that one.
Anyway.
While, largely out of necessity, I’ve learned to photograph with natural light mostly, this book gives a good idea as to set up of light sources and likely results. Which is what I was looking for primarily. It’s also a great inspiration in terms of the photographs actually displayed as examples, and some of them are stunning.
I’m sure you can actually get if from Amazon.com still. If you’re looking for a good start on portrait lighting, this one is it!
