Digital Food Photography Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a professional photographer, and I was greatly looking forward to receiving this book.
I was hoping to get some detailed information on lighting techniques, specifically for food. The additional sections on food and prop styling were handy extras.
What I did get was a nice easy read, and some useful tidbits of information that I can use. Some of the sections on Photoshop were useful (and would be more-so for serious amateurs and up).
What I wasn't expecting and was very disappointed with, were the large chunks of the text dealing with the relationship between ISO, aperture, and shutter. Come-on! This should be a book about digital food photography. Anyone who doesn't know about the basic photographic relationships should be reading a book on basic photography. There were other parts of the book that likewise contained very basic general knowledge I would not expect in a specific book.
Additionally, much spaced was used as almost a portfolio for Lou Manna rather than providing useful information. He does have some beautiful work, but that is not what I was paying for.
All in all, I was disappointed with this book, although it was not a total waste, especially if you were just wanting to get into professional photography.
