Glamour Photography Masterclasses 001 to 004: Step by step instructions including studio set-up photos

In this book you will learn STEP BY STEP how each picture was created and how you can do the same. Creating fantastic pictures of glamour and topless girls out of a small studio or in your home. It is full of "on the run" studio pictures as Holmes shows you how he sets up the backgrounds, the lights, takes the meter readings, and poses the models. Plus the finished shots to show you the quality you should be able to achieve. Including full information on frames that have been altered in PhotoShop and how and where to use each technique. These Masterclasses started out as part of the instruction on his web site www.Girlfiles.co.uk to help members use the minimum of equipment but still produce professional looking pictures. Nigel Holmes is famous for being able to create pictures out of next to nothing, or using home made equipment and inventive ideas. This book contains over 250 working and finished pictures and takes you all the way from a blank studio space to the finished pictures.

5Simple, Straightforward, and Right On  Nov 20, 2009
I LOVED the fact that this book offered so many simple and excellent set-ups, and didn't take 100's of pages to do it. The instructions and photos to help you set up the poses and lighting are great, and I got a chance to use some of these ideas in a recent shoot with excellent results. I don't know what that person who rated it one-star was thinking, but I guess to each his or her own...

5Superb  Nov 02, 2009
I have purchased this and the other book in the series and now the DVD's .

The author has a very clear writing style and if you're fed up of reading those how to books that don't really show anything then this book is for you. No expensive props just showing how to set up and light in many situations and as these are from the authors home it shows you don't even need expensive studios to create a fantastic look. Highly recommended read.

1Masterclass? I dont think so  Oct 20, 2009
First of all - i like some of images on the cover. I really do. I dig idea with patchwork background.

But.
If you think you getting same in book - you are sadly mistaken.

Its printed in smallest print ever. Literally. Actual pages inside of book are about half size in height of book. So eye strain is one thing.
ALL images inside are not only tiny, but printed in B&W with very bad quality. Think old style (70s?) newspaper print quality. It specially becomes funny when mr. Holmes talking on how "this looks better in B&W" - dude. We DIDNT see colour version. So we cant really judge now, can we? So nearly all postprocessing discussions about conversions & etc == worth squat.

5Easy to follow!  Jul 04, 2009
I have read several books related to different aspects of photography and I have read both good and bad books. This definitively is in the first category! What I like about this book is that it shows you "behind the scene" photos of the set-up, and not just explaining it using words. It also show you how to get great results with a very basic set-up. No need to go out and buy fancy equipment. With one flash, a cardboard box and a good idea, Nigel creates some great images. It really makes me want to try out the ideas!
