A Great How-To Guide for Product Photography,
By Doug W Peterman (Stratford, Ontario, CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Artists' Handbook for Photographing Their Own Artwork (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for those who need to take pictures of artwork, crafts or other products and need some help to achieve great results. I am a woodworker and I have read a number of things on the subject - articles, sections in other books, general photography books, etc - but mostly these deal with the very basics to get you started, but leave you with no idea where to go next. John White gives excellent coverage of the basics, but then gives lots of options, ideas and tips for taking your photos to a professional standard. He includes a range of equipment options for all techniques, usually working from the build-it-yourself option up to the top-of-the-line choice with pros and cons of each. He assesses the merits of buying new and used equipment with precise recommendations. He also discusses selecting film, labs to develop your work and even a pro photographer if you decide you still need to hire one. Although the book is aimed at photographing fine art, the principles are easily applied to any product photography. This is an excellent reference that will remain useful for years.

Outdated,

This review is from: The Artists' Handbook for Photographing Their Own Artwork (Paperback)
The information was outdated, but I still got some helpful tips. I hope that the authors have rewritten the book and made it more contemporary. Most people don't use film anymore.
