3 out of 5 stars okay   January 14, 2008
 2 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book is a little disappointing. There is a lot of fluff in this book, meaning sentences like, 'From selecting the right lens to focusing, maximizing the depth of field and metering,family portraits present numerous technichal challenges that must be addressed be the professional photographer." I guess I feel it is a lot of extra reading that is not necessary. The second half of the book gets better, so it is worth buying for some of the info it gives, but probably not worth the money that it costs.


5 out of 5 stars Many good tips   November 5, 2007

This book is good for the beginning photographer. It includes tips for focusing, lighting, and posing.


1 out of 5 stars Utter Trash   October 23, 2007
 2 out of 20 found this review helpful

This book is utter trash. From the poorly composed to the out of focus, this is a great book to read on 'HOW NOT TO'.

If you want an idea of what your competition might be up to, then yeah, this book might be worth a quick view.....other than that....move on.

Most of the shots are all wrong, out of focus, bad lighting, no composition and without a single origional idea throughout the whole book.

Complete waste of money.



4 out of 5 stars Good reading if your inexperience   October 6, 2007

This book is very quick reading, but I expected more details on lighting techniques.

It does provide a reasonable amount of information on posing groups which I thought was very beneficial.

I think it's worth the cost, but just barely!

This book is very helpful with posing techniques, lighting and other tips. Well worth the money. Lots of quality photo examples. Great to have in your reference library.
