: Can anybody give me the title and auther of a good studio
lighting book? I don't want a book that just shows the finished
picture and explains what he did. I am looking for a book that
actually has diagrams, shows where the lights were placed, and
the output the photographer used. Any suggestions on who and how
to obtain one would be greatly appreciated.
: Thanks in advanced.

50 Portrait Lighting Techniques for Pictures That Sell by John
Hart (and now only a $5.00 paperback) seems to be very popular
but it is really only for basics and fundamentals.
In this revised edition (April, 1995), more than 100 new color
and 300 black-and-white photos illustrate how, with a minimum of
equipment, in a studio or out-of-doors, anyone is supossed to be
able to take beautiful portraits of friends, family or
professional clients. Whether a beginning photographer or a
budding professional, readers are supossed to find practical
information on the art of photographic portrait.
Other good reference books are:
The Lighting Cookbook : Foolproof Recipes for Perfect Glamour, Portrait, Still Life, and Corporate Photographs; Jenni Bidner
The Portrait : Professional Techniques and Practices in Portrait Photography (Kodak Publication ; No. O-24); Don Blair
The Business of Portrait Photography (Amphoto's Business of Photography); Tom McDonald
Secrets of Lighting on Location : A Photographer's Guide to Professional Lighting Techniques; Bob Krist
What I have learned on lighting I did from 'The Encyclopedia of Photography', cureently selling for over $250.
Have a great time James
