After visiting Mr. Trampe's website, I decided to look for his book. The images appeared to be outstanding quality; instead they look like 4x6 machine prints that were then blown up to 8x10 by the publisher..... horribly pixelated and some aren't even focussed! Of course, there are some that are very nice, but I expected (Wrongly it seems) that the entire book would have been high-quality printing. I would reccommend glancing thru it.... but that is all. As for descriptions of technique, there are 2 of any detail. And very abstract.... "I took several shots".

What I want, just once, is the photographer to describe , start to finish, the technical process of making the image. Like most authors on this subject, Mr. Trampe gives a usefull overview of many issues I already understand but fails to show the nuts and bolts of his technique. I'm not alone in wanting to know what film he chose for a given scene, at what speed he rated the film, especially how he made metering descisions, placement descisions for his models and for studio lighting, what specific diffusion and light modification was used for each specific shot. Of equal interest are the techniques regarding developement, printing and presentation. Finally, I wish Mr. Trampe would go into more detail about finding models and discuss realistic scenarios for pay scales. The images in this book are terrific. Please tell us how you made them or is that a secret?

I have always wanted to take nude photographs, but I never knew how to get models, what to pay them, or any of the other details needed to get started.
This book is not for seasoned fine art photographers, but rather for those of us interested in the genre but lacking the know how to do it.
