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.
