Tedious February 19, 2008

What a horrid book. Full of ugly example images, it fails to cover what is really needed in a studio book. The practice quiz after each chapter are a joke, with no answer key given. Some of the questions are over things that the author did not even discuss. Don't waste your time and money.
 easy money maker for author!! March 17, 2007

since their are not many digital photography books for instructors,
they pick what they think will fit the bill-it's irritating when they don't even look at the book before requiring it. the book is o.k., but
should not be used for a textbook! it's insulting. to anyone interested in
photography keep this in mind-photography books, especially
the old and true, and info. on the internet will teach you the basics. because photography is mainly digital, it is very well suited for self-study. don't waste your time buying required marginal books and paying for photography classes. your money will be better spend on good glass(lenses) and a tripod, and of course learn photoshop--just my opinion
on a friday night.

This book really is an insult. It's "lesson" and "assignments" are HORRIBLE. They ask you to research in magazines different lighting effects that you think were used in his book. In a field where doing is truly the best learning experience this book is not worth the paper it was printed on. Check it out from a library if you must but you will shortly find it is an insulting read.

I had to purchase this book for a university studio photography course...unfortunately, the instructor never even flipped through it. It is by far the WORST photography book, really the worst book I have ever purchased! There are typo's, the "example photos" and instruction sometime are not the same. The projects are lame and really teach nothing. I would not recommend this book under any circumstances...AVOID AT ALL COST!!! [...]
