DESCRIPTION:
But this is far more than a diverse showcase of exceptional photographs. This willingness to share what are in some instances "trade secrets" is what I feel sets this book apart from its peers, and it is something for which I am deeply grateful. Exclusive: A Letter from Chris Gatcum, author of Light and Shoot 50 Fashion PhotosChris GatcumDear Readers, Fashion is one of photography's fastest moving genres, reflecting an industry that by its very nature needs to reinvent itself on a continual basis. This search has taken me around the globe (at least in terms of internet travel), calling in on both established names and relative newcomers.

Very Good Book This is an important book for any photographer.A. It assumes you are familiar with and own studio lights.B. It also assumes you are a pro photographer.It is very well written in terms of lighting, angles, modifiers, camera settings, etc. nothing is left out. You are able to see the finished image as well as the set-ups. The book is short on theory as it is very practical book.Bottom line: If you want to shoot fashion or learn how to achieve "The Look" this book is a necessary start, and worth every penny.. thinking man's lighting book As a professional photographer for over 30 years I find this book very interesting. The book reveals more about how the photographer was thinking about each photo and why more so than how they did it. I like that approach, other readers looking for more details may not. Gatcum tells me just enough about what was used to create the lighting allowing me to verify my own read on what was done and also answer the old how did they do that? Some of the shots are done simply and some have all sorts of lighting going on. The interesting part is getting a read on the why of each image as much as the how. I find myself jus. "Very informative" according to Latrice James. This book really helped me understand the entire concept of lighting! I've tried multiple setups featured in the book and it hasn't failed me yet! Awesome book to check out to up your photography skills.
