Review

Light and beauty go together like the sky and the sun. When a professional photographer is in harmony with beautiful models and their environment they will create images that reflects this light and beauty. That’s what you will find in Bill Lemons new book ‘Professional Secrets Of Nude & Beauty Photography’. This book is full of exceptional images illustrating outstanding lighting techniques and beautiful models posed in flattering ways. 

This book is more then just beautiful people and well-lit sets. There is substance here as well. ‘Nude & Beauty Photography’ is full of instruction, inspiration and creative tips. Each setup is outlined in a narrative, with lighting graphics and equipment/film details. The reader can learn tips on posing, camera angles, composition, lighting, selecting models and much more.  

Bill Lemon knows his craft and illustrates it with provocative and creative images. Further, he knows how to explain his techniques in ways that are understandable to average photographer. He gives you just the right balance between instruction and enjoyment. If you’re just a ‘looker’ or want to be a ‘learner’ I can highly recommend ‘Nude & Beauty Photography’.
