Summary

Use the photographic lighting techniques of the pros! Featuring a selection of beautifully presented shots by well-known professionals, this stunning guide explains how to select and use proper lighting when photographing models in glamour images for beauty, fashion, and lifestyle publications. Many glamour photos feature erotic situations and partially clothed or nude models, so the lighting considerations must take many factors into account. Organized by the type of lighting used--ambient or daylight, single, multiple, etc.--they are accompanied by the expert explanations of what inspired the shot and unique lighting and processing techniques used, as well as overhead views and a perspective drawing of the lighting setup. Information is also included on lighting theory, equipment, and terminology.
