I found this book very helpful. The author is very knowledgable and offers great ideas, tips, and advice on how to properly pose and illuminate your subjects.

Many great examples throughout the book.

If you're stumped on "how to" in general, this is a GREAT place to start.

I would, without hesitation, give two thumbs up on this book.
