REVIEW TITLE: EVERY PHOTOGRAPHERS QUICK REFERENCE RESOURCE
Fashion Photography Course: Principles, Practice, and Techniques: An Essential Guide

RATING: 5 stars

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: After 30 minutes of browsing through hundreds of photography books in Borders, I was able to find this book Fashion Photography Course. I was pleasantly surprised as i did not know BARRON’S would publish such informative photography books.

Well after 10 minutes of sifting through the book, I was hooked. The structure of the information was very intuitive. Each showcased image details the Objectives of the main teaching points of the tutorial and what is required. The tutorial is clearly defined in the page, following Exercises to practice the newly learned lighting setup with reference to the Feature Boxes and Diagrams. Amazing amazing amazing job developing this book.

PROS:
-Easy reading
-Structured references
-Majority of showcased images are of high quality and execution
-One stop shop book about photography technique and how to penetrate the photography business.

CONS: None!

CONCLUSION: If you need a good quick reference photography book, I highly recommend this book. I often refer to this book before every shoot as a refresher course to lighting my subject and background. Check out my work at http://www.lawrenceatienza.com and let me know if this book helped me or not. You be the judge.





About the Author

Lawrence
As a weekend photographer, I found myself with limited time and limited resources in terms of expanding my photographic ability due to my career. Like many weekend photography warriors, there are only 2 hours on the weekdays and maybe 8 hours or so total on the weekend to learn and grow. These time constraints is what motivated me into creating this online photography resource. I needed a photography hub where all the information I referred to is stored in one easy to navigate online location. I see this more of my online repository of photography information gathered through time. I am very proud of the success of my blog offering of "Photographer Interview Series". You will read in-depth interviews from the photography world's famous photographers. Names like David Tejada, Nick Onken, Michael Grecco and David Bean to name a few. The interview series has also expanded to include weekend photographers and now wedding photographers with the similar goal of learning from each other. My goal is to evolve this site to be the premier go to resource for photographer interviews and equipment reviews.
