The Reading Warehouse

In this book, Jodi Lynn Maxwell proves that you can create a wide range of lighting effects using a single strobe, modifiers, and window light. She shows you how to create a starting setup and make minor changes to produce a host of lighting looks, in minimal time and with little effort.

Coaching a client into a flattering pose is key to making her feel good about herself--particularly when it comes to boudoir portraits. Maxwell provides before-and-after poses, showing simple refinements that take a portrait from marginal to magnificent. She also provides step-by-step instructions on flow posing. You'll start with a strong basic pose, then ask a client to move a foot, tilt their head, turn a shoulder, etc., to produce myriad flattering portrait options in a short span of time.
