I found this book to be interesting and easy to read, but yet containing loads of useful information. It is a fascinating view of how to start analysing portrait photographs taken by other photographers, and how to start planning my own portraits. Knowing and understanding the why's and how's of posing my subject, as well as what to look out for with lighting using window light or natural light is going to be what starts making the difference between all those "Facebook photos", and portraits I would be proud to put in a frame. For me, the descriptions of what to look for and how to identify the shadows on the face were particularly useful, and now I find myself secretly analysing shadows and light whenever I look at people's faces.
