Tips and Tactics from Gladstone, THE corporate pro October 5, 2004
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Having worked with Gary on many annual reports (some of our photos he shot are in this book), I can honestly say that it was a pleasure to work with such a consumate professional such as Gary and his assistant, Matt Proulx. We spent countless hours, days and weeks on location capturing some of the greatest shots our firm has ever produced for our clients. This book was being written as we were shooting several reports (see page 152 for a great example of what a photographer is usually given to work "magic" with) and what he says is absolute gospel when it comes to the photo road warrior. Much of the time spent is hurry up and wait and then race like mad to get the shot because of circumstances out of the control of the photographer. Gary's best advice inside this book tells the seasoned pro or aspiring one how to save time, money and sanity while trying to get the best possible shot. Practical, straightforward, and always grumpy, Gary Gladstone will make you a better photographer if you listen to what he is telling you. Buy this book if you desire to be the best corporate photographer you can be.

Gary Gladstone has taken the art of being a good photographer and crafted a book on how to be a successful professional photographer. Its not enought to take good photos, and this book shows you what else you need if you are thinking about making money, and not just spending it, in pictures.

This is just a wonderful book for anybody building a business as a freelance photographer. Gary tells you the inside stuff that many pros even keep from their assistants. The book loaded with real world examples of how problems get solved and how to steer your job planning to keep from getting in trouble later. If you're going to shoot outside your studio, then this book should put your mind at ease with strategies. He walks you through real problems with examples of how to avoid or get out of jams.Gladstone teaches how to think your way through a job. The chapter on assistants is a much read if you're thinking of starting that way. The visuals are great! Makes you want to run out and start shooting. I just love this book. Thanks Gary. Walt Moon
 WATCH OUT!!!! November 28, 2001

I'm a begginer in this field, there is no doubt this is a good book. But, if you are a begginer too, don't buy this one, because it has just 30 pages for "TRICKS & HINTS" out of 160. There are a lot of photographs, but it is a shame there is no explanation on what lences, nor films, nor speed shutter, etc. he is using.
He only talks about "HOW TO DO BUSSINESS", it is good, and about dealing with people (your assistant, your clients), this is usefull too.
By the other hand, I don't think it is more usefull how to packing your equipement than how to take a good photograph.
So, the title of the book has got nothing to do with the content. WATCH OUT!!!
This book is simply the best of its kind. November 23, 2001

It gives you hard won experience from a photographer at the top of his field. From what (and how) to pack for a travelling assignment, to making sure you get paid on time.But not only that, Gary Galadstone gives you the benefit of his creative mind too. How to creatively shoot your way out of tricky situations. Turning potentially hopeless locations into great photographs. I got the impression that Gary was trying to include as much as possible in this book. He could have left loads out and it would still have been a good book. Just buy it, you wont be sorry. I'm sure I'm not the only person to have wished he had read it at the beginning of his career. I found this book so generous with tips, codes of practise and his experience I felt I had to personally thank the author, and THAT doesn't often happen!
