1 out of 5 stars Lacks Good Images   September 17, 2007
 2 out of 5 found this review helpful

Technicaly it is a good book, because it shows you exactly how the subject matter was lit, the amount of strobes used, lightboxes, etc. But, the images themselves are not very good.


2 out of 5 stars Terribly out of date   September 6, 2007
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

Published in 2002, but full of images that would appear to be from the 1980s, this is horribly out of date. Thus, no mention of digital and the dramatic changes it has bought to studio photography and images that have dated terribly. Even as a 'technique' book this has limited value as many of the compositions are so bizarre and unusual that you are hardly ever likely to need the kind of lighting that is presented. If you are looking for a book with general advice for product and still life (which I was), this is not the one.


5 out of 5 stars helpfull and creative   September 5, 2007

there is a lot of information on how to use lights and input on creative ways for solving problems in a studio. the only thing i would wish for is cheaper more minimalistic ways of coming to great results

A MUST for photographers who want to do still life photography. Lots of ideas and "how to" information. Loved it!

As a student photographer, grabbing ideas to inspire me is no small feat, this book has a lot to share. As I have purchased a ton of books on amazon about photography, this is one of the rare finds that is definately worth the money, and more!
