Book Reviews of Outdoor and Location Portrait Photography

Book Review: The Pro's Pro for Outdoor Portraiture
Summary: 5 Stars

This is really a good book for anyone who wants to elevate their outdoor protraiture to a professional level. Smith is certainly one of the best in the business, and isn't afraid to tell you how he does it.

If your a hobbyist, look more towards Douglas Allen Box's book. But if you really want to know how to take great looking portraits anytime during the day, here's your bible.

This guy is just flat good. He goes in depth into natural refelctors, and outdoor flash photography. He even talks about trick shots like "dragging the shutter", and how to make the background go dark in the middle of the day.

He's such a perfectionist that he says he really doesn't ever find any shot that he doesn't see room for improvement in the lighting, and then goes ahead and makes those improvements. He really smashes the idea that outdoor photography is about using existing light. He's always adding and removing. The pro's pro.
