Fashion Photography Course: Principles, Practice, and Techniques: An Essential Guide
There’s nothing more dissapointing than a book that talks about lighting, shows great pictures, but leaves you with no clue of how the shots were created.. This is not one of those.. It provides a manual guide to acheiving desired looks and effects. Positioning of lights, flags, reflectors, and everything you need to recreate the picture shown. I like the authors intro and views on fashion and photography, and the soul searching is definetely something I’ve found myself doing as I invest in gear, invest my time, and push myself with no immediate return.. Highly recommended..

This book have a lot of examples for prepare a lighting set for portraits or shoot a fashion model but it doesn’t have to much information of model posing. So if you want a very good book for fashion posing, this its not the book that you looking for. If you want examples of lighting set for posing then this book will help you.
