Hi, I would like to get a book on portraiture as well as black and white photography. Are there any you can recommend?
Thanks...

Hi mrvista. A couple of cents worth...
No, but here's what I have done over the years (though not for portraiture).
Go to the local library and leaf through books on photography. It doesn't matter that many may be for film cameras. Even books on general photography usually cover portraiture well, and there are often books specifically for portraiture. After you've picked up some ideas and have practised them, you may not need to keep a book on portraiture.
Am.
PS. The same for B/W photography.
