It's Still Amazes Me!, March 20, 2008
This review is from: Complete Guide to Beauty & Glamor Photography (Paperback)
When I was young and still in school, the people who wrote books on difficult subjects were EXPERTS in what they did. Rarely was someone only fair at their skills and had a ego to go out and advertise themselves as "professional". This book suggests that it is: "The Complete Guide . . ." and it is nothing of the sort. The book does have some pretty women inside, and a few interesting comments and shots, but all in all this book comes up short when it comes to a "guide". Little is shown in how an image is created, but more than that the images themselves are very average at best. Most of us who would buy a "glamour book" are visually sophisticated, and I dare to say, that unless you are an absolute beginner with no knowledge in glamour photography, most likely this book will teach you little and completely disappoint you with it's artistry!

Great for photographers with Playboys by the ocean, March 2, 2006
This review is from: Complete Guide to Beauty & Glamor Photography (Paperback)
This book was more like a "look-at-these-Playboys-I've-photographed-in-all-these-exotic-places". This book was filled with tons of completely nude, implanted women but no diagrams, no set up explanations, no posing discriptions. The only technical aspects were "here you can see I used a mirror to reflect the model's face while focusing on her splendid rear".
AND the book referred to film only.
Total waste of money and time.
