highly recommended
Cuts to the essence, yet comprehensive
Very nice book covering essentials of
photographers
wanting to learn about creating
model
ing
portfolios
for model-wannabees. Includes lighting, posing, comp cards, zed cards, releases, makeup, what the modeling bag should include, types of models and height requirements, etc.
Worth every cent...
To the point and simple to understand.
By far one of the best photography books I have purchased as yet....
great book for advanced amateurs and pro photographers
I think this book focuses over a wide range of problems you could find in your photographic sessions. It's not only about posing and lighting, but also about your goals and your
model
s' ones. It explains, in a very concise and clear way, how to take the photos that your models need to use.
As a
professional
photographer, I think the quality of my works improved, and my approach changed a lot after reading this book from cover to cover.

Informative book
Very useful book for everyone, who has something to do with
model
portfolios
. Quite a lot of
professional
knowledge. A bit owerkilling, too: the writer seems to be serious when telling that he rented a red car to be used as a prop to suit models red dress. Sure an useful hint.
Depends upon experience.
This is not a bad book and I'm not going to trash it. It is, however, like many of the Amherst Media books, a little disappointing for anyone pretty far along in the business. I would consider it a complete beginner's
guide
to
model
ing and model photography. In that light, it's a useful and interesting book. I found the photos to be less than stellar and a bit dated, but this is totally subjective. (You can see a lot better by browsing the showcased photos on OneModelPlace.com.)The entire book left me wishing for more. With all this stated, I did learn some things from this book, which probably compensated for the cover price. In short, don't expect miracles from this book.
