Excellent book. The layout was comprehensive. It lacked techniques and setups, but overall it is a good resource for anyone wanting to do fashion photography.

This book is exceptionally clear, straightforward, and most importantly, useful. With most books, I’ll read them through and hope to cull a few useful notes, but this is something I return to. I would have liked a little more attention put to lighting set-ups, only because what’s offered is incredibly useful and I’d be interested in other suggestions and possibilities, but on the whole, I highly recommend the book.

Excellent layout and forethought.
The visual examples and equipment placement diagrams are very helpful and should be included in your photo kit on EVERY shoot for quick reference.
A must have tool for every photographer, no matter your level or experience.
