A nicely comprehensive guide!

Pegram does an eminently readable job in covering the modeling portfolio process ~ I own several books on the subject, and this volume has superseded them all to become my "go-to" reference.

Good for beginners

It's very pro, a little out of fashion, it's a 2004 book, so that's normal I guess. If you don't work in the USA market, it is a good guide about how to work.

Best for beginners

Model portfolio photography tends to be a seductive pursuit that attracts photographers who either lack the necessary experience, or shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Portfolios are properly shot by working fashion or product illustration photographers who understand the challenges.

Even so, it's difficult to resist the allure of photographing an attractive subject, and everyone has to start somewhere. I recommend starting with this book. It truly is a step-by-step guide that leads you through everything you need to know to help a model create his or her book.

If you're a veteran pro, you might find some ideas here, but will hardly need the education. Beginners can do themselves -- and their subjects -- a service by reading this book thoroughly before attempting their first portfolio.

Fantastic "Glimpse" into the world of shooting for models

This is a fantastic book. It provides great information about doing photography with a model's portfolio in mind It provides good examples with lighting guides, and dips the reader's toe into the fashion/modeling industry with just enough information to excite some readers - and scare others away. this is a good thing.

I just longed for more information; it lacked information about the modeling industry as a whole, particularly modeling agencies and how the work. this is good information for a photographer who wants to help models break into or maintain effective work with such agencies. Sadly, this information was lacking in the book, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. This information could help photographers work better with agency models on their portfolios.

That said, this book has a plethora of information on portfolios, the dos and do not, and plenty of other supplemental information that can be applied to any situation involving model photography.
