From working with models to lighting and posing, everything aspiring glamour photographers need to know in order to run a successful business and take gorgeous pictures is included in this thorough manual. Written for both the amateur and professional photographer, this handbook explores how to build a professional rapport with subjects while creating sensual portraits similar to those found in Maxim, Playboy, and other men’s magazines. Each of the 150 images is accompanied by explanatory text enabling the reader to re-create the shot in its entirety or emulate just some of the picture’s techniques. Tips on adding personality to images, understanding how the body photographs, and taking elegant pictures of fully clothed models is also included.

Rolando produces in classic style. He delivers as I have come to expect him to! He is very easy to understand and very informational. I recommend his books and seminars as they have help me produce some fantastic images!
His books and workshops have been very educational and inspiring! I can't wait for the DVD which is supposed to come out soon. Way to go Rolando!
 Too much skin! February 21, 2008

I got this book and was kind of shocked to see so much exposed skin on this book. None mentioned anywhere on the review page so here it is. It is a good book but just too much skin all over the place!

Bought this book a few months ago and had a hard time putting it down. Its easy to understand with some great tips. I have taken a lot from the book and hope that anyone getting into glamour photography would consider purchasing this book for ideas and inspiration.
 If you own his 'Garage Glamour' book, you don't need this one ... February 5, 2008

I'm a fan of Rolando Gomez' website www.glamour1.com (formerly garage glamour) and of the articles on it written by him. However I was disappointed when I purchased this book together with his previous 'Garage Glamour' book at the same time from Amazon, sight unseen. I would recommend against purchasing both books as he has repeated alot of the same information in both which I found very disappointing as I was hoping he could have come up with new material. For this reason I definitely wouldn't purchase any future books from this author as he would probably rehash the same stuff again. The photos in these books weren't particularly great or inspiring either.
Also if you are a fan of his website you will probably have seen a lot of this information before. Having said all that, there is some useful information and I particularly liked the info on white balance and gels. There's nothing too in depth, but would be a good read for a beginner in glamour photography. Because I've enjoyed his free articles I didn't mind having spent money on his book - but if I had my time again I just wouldn't have bought both!
Buy them both!! September 25, 2007

Both books make for excellent reference. Outstanding photos and written in an easy to follow style, like your talking to the author directly. If your lookoing for a step by step, set your light this distance, expose at this stop, spend some more time shooting.
Camera settings are provided for 99% of photos.
These are not "quick reference books", more of a reading experience intended to get you in the proper mind set and get those creative impulses going. A++
When's the next SA workshop for poor guys? LOL
