Great portraits are more than technique. They demand a broad range of skills...and a way with people. Lighting for Portrait Photography looks at the work of top photographers who reveal exactly how their finest portraits were created, and the beautiful full-color examples throughout the book show famous and unknown faces in commercial, editorial, and personal work. Many different styles of portraiture are covered, from simple set-ups using one light to more advanced multi-light plans. This fully revised edition of a popular original includes completely new lighting diagrams and the latest equipment and techniques.
　　* Great examples and explanations from top photographers
　　* Portraits of the famous and the not-so-famous--and how each image was created
　　* Fully revised and updated with new lighting diagrams and more

Steve Bavister, one of the most respected photographers in the United Kingdom, currently shoots for stock. He lives in Peterborough, UK.
