Hi all, this is my first post! I'm new to the world of photography and I'd like to get started with some basics. I have a Sony DSC-P7 digital camera and a ready and willing model (my fiance) and we'd like to do very tasteful and well lit nudes in our home.
I have really no idea about how to do basic lighting and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good book for learning? Amazon turns up about 15 potential books on nude photography but I cant tell what is fluff and what is the real deal. I'm jsut looking for some straightforward instruction for beginners.
Additionally, since I am using a ditital camera, is there any advantage to getting a book that focuses on digital photography? Here's the link to the book I'm referring to:

Thank you very much for any help. I hope this is not a taboo subject to be discussing in this forum.
Regards, Rob
