Can anyone suggest some photobooks of portrait work can buy and study. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is the book I have, but then I don't normally photograph people.

• Learn the basics of capturing great portraits, such as focusing on the eyes, stepping back and zooming in, and turning your subject into the light
• Evaluate focal length, compression, and working distance to select the best lens for any given shoot
• Establish trust with your subject and provide helpful direction and feedback so they feel at ease and look their best
• Address challenges associated with natural light such as shade and direct light–and tame or redirect the light for improved photographs
• Improve the light with modifiers and other helpful tools such as strobes, umbrellas, and reflectors
• Go “behind the scenes” and walk through the process of creating great portraits with two chapters of start-to-finish examples
