I bought a book the other day, "Photographing People", published by RotoVision.
It has double-page spreads with a photo on the right page,
and a diagram and explanation of the lighting setup - film/camera/lighting/exposure settings - on the left page, along with comments from the photographer.
Being new to shooting people, this is exactly the sort of book I can learn from. It's a bit like "Light: Science and Magic", but it contains real people, like Christopher Ecclestone, Mel Brookes, Rutger Hauer, Claudia Schiffer, Tim Roth, as opposed to line drawings in the 'science & magic' book.
I've also ordered another book from Amazon which is relatively new - I'm not sure it's hit the FAQ here yet (maybe its rubbish) but the reviews look good - it's "The best of wedding photojournalism: techniques and images from the pros" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1584281227/qid=1135897953?tag2=headphonerevi-20). Anyone else read it?
