Is there a good book/manual that details how to take good portrait
photograps? (more artistic one's not like at Sears or JCPenny's)
Unfortuantely, I'm stuck with just my 35mm camera and have little hope of
getting anything else for awhile. But, I would like something that
details how to get the most out of a 35mm AND professional studio set
ups. If it takes more than one book, fine, I just want the titles.

pretty good. Sort of out of left field, but I might seek out an older copy
of the Leica Manual in a library. There were many additions of the book and
it consisted of chapters on different types of photo issues contributed by
different authors. All samples are done with 35mm so you get a good idea of
what is possible. BTW, I just shot my first few rolls of ILFORD Pan F Plus
in a four light studio situation. This is a very nice film for portraits
in 35, with as much resolution as you could possibly want.

to borrow it from the library and look it over. I use it in
class to construct various lighting setups for different types
of portrait lighting.
