## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for any beginning portrait photographer
*by C***N on July 21, 2009*

I don't understand the low reviews and I wonder if their authors even read this book or just skimmed it. Unlike other portrait books, Monte starts out with the basics and builds from there, with many examples of posing and lighting. It's true that he recommends two basic poses, but goes on to show how head on, 2/3 and profile shots can be taken from those poses with the same lighting. He also favors short lighting almost exclusively, but for the most part that is because it best flatters his subjects. He recognizes that portrait photography is about satisfying your subject first, not making some avant garde statement.He explains how to set up 2/3 and profile shots. He explains the necessity of examining your subject and finding out what they want before you start shooting. This lets you determine what the subject wants, how you want to shoot and which side of the face to favor. He doesn't even get into discussing lighting equipment and camera equipment until near the end. He does discuss environmental portraits as well as studio portraits and shows various one light, two light, three light, four light setups. I have three other portrait and lighting books and this is the one I come back to most often for simple concise guidance.Before you go off to "find your style," master these techniques first and you will at least have a solid basis for determining if "your style" is superior.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Monte Zucker is one of the best
*by J***. on January 4, 2013*

I first became acquainted with Zucker's work 30 years ago when he was king of the wedding photographers. This book does not disappoint. Zucker retained his mastery of the photo portrait throughout his life and this book is a good sampling of his competent and well thought out work. His lighting techniques are classic. Shipping was fast and the book arrived in a box so it was in great condition.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is GOSPEL.  Every portrait photographer needs to own and study this book!
*by L***S on November 29, 2013*

The FIRST photography book you should purchase if you want to create timeless portraits that capture and preserve the soul of the people you photograph! Monte Zucker is one of the great masters to portrait photography as Ansel Adams is to landscape photography. If you learn the principles he teaches very clearly, directly, and succinctly in this book, your portraits will appreciate to a higher level than you ever thought you were capable of. He explains lighting equipment and techniques. He gets into a great deal of detail on how to pose subjects to make them look their best, flattering their positive features while minimizing features they don't want to show off. There are tons of pictures in the book demonstrating the techniques he writes about, along with portraits showing the results. This book should be in every photographer's library as their BIBLE on how to create great portraits, even if they only rarely shoot people. Mr. Zucker was awesome at what he did and this book is his legacy...showing anyone what they need to know to photograph people.
