Overview

Full of outstanding images created on real assignments, this book provides a valuable insight into the creative process of one of today’s top portrait photographers. In support of each portrait image is a setup image, an outtake image from the shoot, or both. Rodriguez is a master of lighting, so lighting diagrams are provided for every shot, making it easy for readers to adapt the setups to their own subjects and shooting style. The guide also provides ample description of the effects achieved through the selection of each light modifier and the placement of each light source within the overall setup. Posing techniques are covered in detail, with tips for both refining the appearance of the subject and for communicating the individual’s personality through the pose selected. This book is a valuable addition to the library of any professional photographer or advanced student of photography.
