Summary: Hollywood How-To At Its Best
Comment: This book is a must-have if you're as enamored with the B&W glamour and sensuality of the old Hollywood as I am. The diagrams on capturing the unique and moody lighting will get any level photographer on the road to recreating these wonderful scenes. The enthusiast of vintage glamour will find the pictures and tidbits from those days fun and interesting to read as well. A book that should be on any photographer's reference shelf- as any book with Roger Hicks name as author, should be.

Summary: How to Shoot like the Stars
Comment: I was surprised when I recieved this book that it not only had fantastic photographs, but it gave you great detail in how to reproduce the same effect for each photograph. It was rather a nice addition to the fine photography. Stars included are Vivien Leigh, Sophia Loren, James Cagney, Elizabeth Taylor, etc. Photographers included are among the best like C.S. Bull, Lazlo Willinger, George Hurrell, and some anonymous photographers who sadly did not get credit during their time. All in All, this is a nice book printed on high quality paper and bounded in soft cover.

Summary: you will never get tired of this book
Comment: Some else worte that the book is not correct, they had never tried to recreate some of the effects. I have personaly tried recreating some of the lighting and all of the photo's came out great without much make up and no touch ups. Also most all of the photo's I took were worth blowing up to a large photo. The book explains lighting, film types, and how it has changed over time. You can reproduce the hollywood portrait look with very little expense.
