About this Item

mid?century instructional manual on glamour photography, How to Shoot for Glamour distills the aesthetics, techniques, and professional practices of 1950s glamour shooters. Bakal structures the book as a practical, aspirational guide: defining glamour as a photographic language, outlining the personal qualities of the photographer, and detailing how to work with models, settings, props, wardrobe, and makeup. The book is notable for its collaborative sections by major period photographers?Peter Basch, Bernard of Hollywood, Candy Jones Conover, Andr� de Dienes?each contributing specialized instruction on lighting, posing, beauty, and outdoor glamour. With 270 illustrations by 40 photographers, it functions both as a technical manual and a visual survey of mid?century glamour style, capturing the era?s blend of Hollywood influence, beach photography, corrective posing, and controlled studio lighting. As a first edition from 1955, it represents a snapshot of the professional glamour industry at its cultural peak. Hard cover edition. 128 pages. Dimensions: 6" by 9.25".
