Not sure whose ego is bigger, the subject or.....no, I'm pretty sure it is the photographer's.

It was interesting seeing the many famous people in poses I had never seen them in before. He explains the lighting and sometimes gets into the situational setup, which was the most interesting part of the book for me. He misspelled Colin Mochrie's name, though, so he lost another star for that.

The stories of interacting with and getting access to celebrities is interesting, and the creative imagery is inspiring. The talk of gear and many of the popular personalities dates the book in a distracting way.

Michael Grecco's book provides a lot of case studies with lighting setups, etc. which are useful for getting new ideas. This book was of particular interest to me since I have the same general lighting equipment that's in most of the setups.

useful

I've been searching for this book for quite a while. I was even more intrigued after watching "Guerilla Shooting, Los Angeles" on youtube. To tell the whole truth,I was expecting more from this book.
