Fashion Flair for Portrait and Wedding Photography teaches photographers how to take the concepts of fashion photography (including preparation, styling, props, lighting, posing and post-processing) and apply these techniques to their portrait and wedding photography. By adding fashion flair to their work, photographers can distinguish themselves from their competition and demand a higher price for their images and creativity. Fashion photographers use preparation, styling, props, lighting, posing and post-processing techniques to achieve the desired visual effects in their high-end shoots. Yet these very same techniques can be applied to the images of portrait and wedding photography to create outstanding work that will differentiate a photographer from the competition. Clients want to feel like they are models, and live in a fantasy and this book will help them feel edgy, striking and high-end through a unique approach to their portraits. This book is not about becoming a fashion photographer - it is about using fashion photography techniques for successful portrait and wedding photography.

I am best classified as a part-time professional location based shooter who shoots without use of assistants. I shoot all Nikon gear and typically do event, portrait, intimate, and children's sporting events. I do not do weddings due to the complexity of the event (that is a confession by the way). I love photography and would do what I do for free but I happen to get paid most of the time.
For this book to have any value to you, you must have the fundamental basics of photography mastered. Well, maybe not "mastered." But you must have the fundamental knowledge to apply those basics to various situations before you can apply the lessons in this book. So, if you are just starting out or just a hobbyist, focus on books that cover the basics such as exposure, metering, gear, natural lighting, aperture,etc... If you are still using the scene settings (program mode) on your camera, don't even think about this book. You should know how to shoot manually first.
That being said, this book, despite the constant use of the word "flair" is extremely valuable for portrait shooters leaning toward the fashion/glamour side of photography. It has some of the best visual examples (I like to deconstruct shots)from which to work. Adler presents the information so coherently that if you have a at least the fundamentals of photography down, you will easily benefit from even just browsing this book (the shots are inspiring).
Although the book has the word "wedding" in the title, the lessons and samples are easily applied to any portrait shoot (in studio or on location), especially with women. Adler does a great job of explaining gear and lighting so that even a hobbyist moving up should be able to use many of the techniques on their next shoot.
