Just finished reading through “The Naked and the Lens: A Guide to Nude Photography” and have to say it is an excellent book.
Unlike my wife Tracie (a great people photographer based in Dallas), I’m not really interested in shooting people. That said, this book provides some excellent advice and guidelines for shooting not only nudes but people in general.
Don’t let the title fool you…this book is much more than just about shooting naked people. It provides a great deal of information on how to prepare for shoots (equipment, etc), what to do during shoots (how to work with people) and post processing skills for making those photographs pop.
Of course, the book has a lot of nudes in it. They are all done perfectly tastefully and artfully so don’t worry about seening anything that might offend you.
If you photograph people, buy this book. It does much more than just talk about shooting nude people…it teaches the skills needed by any photographer.
