This is a great e-book by Lauren Hope called A Beginner’s Guide to Portrait Photography. She’s a Christian and was home-schooled. The book has very clean content which is hard to find in portraiture books! So I was so excited when I found it! 🙂

Thanks for sharing! I just bought it myself and will look forward to browsing through it. Perhaps we can even advertise it through Lenspiration.

Another really good book for understanding the real basics of lighting is Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting. You do have to watch out which version you get, as some version have some immodesty. The version I know is decent is the third edition (bright red), which I linked to on Amazon.com

Thanks for the recommendation, @dfrazer! Books that teach us about light these days are so amazingly “dark”, spiritually speaking. Do you have the book yourself?

I don’t own the book – it was leant to me by a local photographer friend. Do be careful which edition you choose though – the fourth edition does have some immodesty, and I suspect the later versions would too. I suspect the third edition was only “clean” by accident. 🙁
