This book shows alot of great poses and shares many good ideas. Expecially nice are Rick's lighting diagrams and the way he shows how he meters to combine flash with ambient lighting. Also helpful are his ideas posing with diagrams showing how lighting should fall in relation to stances and poses. His hand poses as well as high and low key shots were nicely done also.
I am surprised that Amhearst Media, Inc., did not print this book in color!

I'm a nature photographer by choice, but when a friend of mine begged me to shoot her wedding I was a bit worried about doing it. I baught this book one week before my first wedding shoot. Its very simple to use and read with easy to follow diagrams of positions and reasons why. Its quick and to the point, not getting into the science of photography,and gets right to the basics. I was happy with the pictures I took and the Bride was even happier, which is what its all about, making her special day a day to remember. I've still got alot to learn but this was a positive step in the right direction, and with help from this book it made it a little easier.
