Professional model porfolios

This was a fantastic book. So much information. Every model and photographer should read this.

Good for beginners

It's very pro, a little out of fashion, it's a 2004 book, so that's normal I guess. If you don't work in the USA market, it is a good guide about how to work.

A nicely comprehensive guide!

Pegram does an eminently readable job in covering the modeling portfolio process ~ I own several books on the subject, and this volume has superseded them all to become my "go-to" reference.

Cuts to the essence, yet comprehensive

Very nice book covering essentials of photographers wanting to learn about creating modeling portfolios for model-wannabees. Includes lighting, posing, comp cards, zed cards, releases, makeup, what the modeling bag should include, types of models and height requirements, etc.

Excellent Reference for Models as well as photographers!

The difference between this book and Billy's last is that he wrote this one without the help of a ghostwriter. It is clear, concise and with beautiful examples. For the beginning model, it has everything from how to stand to what to put in your model's bag. My daughter has modeled with Billy since she was a toddler and is featured in this book as a young adult. He taught my daughter the techniques that took her all the way to Asia to model - he is top drawer all the way - BUY THE BOOK- YOU WONT BE SORRY!
