Book Reviews of Lighting and the Dramatic Portrait: The Art of Celebrity and Editorial Photography
Book Review: Lighting And The Dramatic Portrait: FANTASTIC
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael is one of the best celebrity photographers in the business. His background in photojournalism combined with the lighting he perfected during his years in advertising provide him with a unique perspective. He is able to capture candid and real moments with beautiful created light. The book is a combination of a history of fabulous images and technical descriptions on how and why it was done. This book won't necessarily turn you into a fantastic celebrity photographer, but it will provide you with lighting schemes and solutions that anyone can use to help perfect their own skills. The images are spectacular but there is much more in this book including valuable information on lighting, producing and the business side, all of which are necessary in a very completive marketplace. Anyone can take pictures but few possess the skills needed to be truly successful. Michael helps to reveal all of those talents.
