Rants & Observations

Lighting for Nude Photography by Rod Ashford

There are several things I really like about this book and only one or two that I don't. First, I love the format. Ashford shows the picture first, then a diagram of how the picture was taken showing the placement of the lights, the model, and any set pieces, and a brief description. My main complaint is that his description doesn't go quite far enough. I want more specifics. How high are the lights and at what angle? How small is a small room? The pictures are wonderful and the method is fantastic as far as it goes but give me more. Should you buy it? Yes.
