As a starting photographer, I was well aware of the author's

life, etc. This book gives starting photographers--in detail--a
masterful way of setting up nude shots. I highly recommend this
book |

Advice on every aspect of nude photography will enable you
to reveal the sensual curves, contours, and symmetry of the female
form, whether your goal is purely artistic or frankly erotic. A
veritable bounty of striking pictures and a wealth of professional
guidance is sure to give you a strong understanding of key skills
and provide the creative spark that will set your imagination in
motion. Once you know what to look for in a model, you'll need to
master a variety of challenges for different locations. Use water,
filters, lenses, perspective, and props to enhance your model under
the sun. Indoors, pay attention to composition and design, lighting,
shadows, and mood. For studio assignments, see how to give a model
direction and how to work with white, colored, and black backgrounds. |
Revue Of Book:
It's rare to find a photo book with "creative" in its title
living up to the promise, but this is an exception. Christopher
Grey explains in detail how he created the innovative, sometimes
abstract, black-and-white figure studies that are the focus of this
book. He includes descriptions of the lighting setups, poses, backgrounds,
props, etc., but also adds extra information often lacking in this
kind of book: He tells us the advantages of working with pregnant
models ("transient beauty [resulting] from physical changes"); outlines
the perils, legal and otherwise, of shooting nudes outdoors, and
the steps he takes to avoid problems; discusses the nuances of compostion;
talks about his and his models' attitudes toward the shots; and
generally lets the reader look over his shoulder while he makes
his photographs. |

Revue Of Book:
I have
always wanted to take nude photographs, but I never knew how to
get models, what to pay them, or any of the other details needed
to get started. This book is not for seasoned fine art photographers,
but rather for those of us interested in the genre but lacking the
know how to do it. |
Revue Of Book:
I am
an beginner when it comes to photography. I wanted a book that had
details from equipment, lighting techniques, to picking a model.
Shows the picture with a description of how the equipment was arranged,
and what was used. A great book at a great price. |

Revue Of Book:
Whether the subject is female, male, or both, glamour photography
is only as good as the lighting set up that establishes its mood.
The superb examples in this volume show the best lighting effects
in the field, and feature detailed diagrams which show just how
such glamorous results are achieved. 90 illustrations, 40 in color. |
Revue Of Book:
This is a very well done book that gives great insight into
the process a photographer uses in photographing and working with
models...supplies the reader with lots of ideas in a very readable
and enjoyable form. All the images have information on how they
were taken and the equipment used, some have diagrams on how I used
the light, some of which was natural and others with artificial
light. I think you'll find this book very user friendly, it will
help you create dramatic, softly feminine, and flattering images
of women. |

Revue Of Book:
First I should point out that if you are looking for a single
book that covers all you need to know about glamour photography,
you will never be happy. Having said that, I believe this to be
the absolute best book on glamour lighting for someone who is serious
about doing glamour photography. I am a serious working photographer
who does quite a bit of glamour photography, and I find the lighting
techniques presented in this book to be excellent. |
Revue Of Book:
An aura of eroticism sparks every page of this exciting instructional
that shows camera artists exactly how to create provocative shots
through carefully placed lighting. A wide-ranging selection of complex
studio shots and natural exterior settings feature provocative contemporary
photographs by top professionals, accompanied by explanatory text,
equipment specifications, and set up schemes for each composition. |

Revue Of Book:
"Steve has done it again! Just as in the wonderful 'Darkroom
Cookbook,' he has managed to pull together everything you need to
know about printing with multigrade papers. A significant contribution
with every black-and-white darkroom enthusiast should own."--Joe
Englander "Anchell's text contains a wealth of useful and clearly
stated information. It should be a valuable addition to any serious
printer's library." |
|
Revue Of Book:
Here is the long and the short of it: This is a wonderful
book. I have looked at dozens of photography books, and what seems
like hundreds of magazines, and I am positive that none of them
contain the wealth of information that Steve Anchell (in collaboration
with Bill Troop) puts in this book (or in Steve's other books for
that matter). If you are interested in making the most of your black
and white photography, you need to know what your film if composed
of, what it reacts to, and how to achieve the effects that you want
to get out of it. You don't have to be a darkroom guru to use it,
you don't need a lot of equipment, and you don't need an elaborate
setup. I think anyone will improve his or her results after reading
and using this book. I have always believed that the magic in black
and white takes place in the darkroom, and even if you don't have
a darkroom, your control of the film development process will make
you a better photographer. This is a great way to get it right. |
Revue Of Book:
As stated in the summery this is a great book for people who
wish to advance in the darkroom; to have more control over their
work. The Darkroom Cookbook discuss, in easy to understand concise
language, how to make your own developers, toners, fixers, reducers
etc. Stephen Anchell gives you the formulas to reproduce, in your
own darkroom, a host of great developers etc. He also gives some
basic info on hints and tools you will need to get started. A well
written book easy to follow; though a little knowledge of basic
chemistry is helpful. I am a new darkroomer and found this book
has a wealth of inforamtion helpful if you like to expeirment. By
the way, If you are just being introduced to the darkroom or rusty
at it, don't buy this book at this momment. Wait untill you feel
comfortable working in the darkroom using stock chemicals, this
book might discourage some from beinning because it is a techincal
manual. |
