We discuss the exclusive radiative decays B -> K* gamma and B -> rho gamma in QCD factorization within the Standard Model. The analysis is based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. Our results for these decays are complete to next-to-leading order in QCD and to leading order in the heavy-quark limit. Phenomenological implications for branching ratios and isospin breaking effects are discussed. Special emphasis is placed on constraining the CKM unitarity triangle from these observables.
