5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Stuff They Don't Teach In Schools!, February 3, 2002

This review is from: Corporate & Location Photography (Kodak Pro Workshop Series) (Paperback)

This is just a wonderful book for anybody building a business as a freelance photographer. Gary tells you the inside stuff that many pros even keep from their assistants. The book loaded with real world examples of how problems get solved and how to steer your job planning to keep from getting in trouble later. If you're going to shoot outside your studio, then this book should put your mind at ease with strategies. He walks you through real problems with examples of how to avoid or get out of jams.

Gladstone teaches how to think your way through a job. The chapter on assistants is a much read if you're thinking of starting that way.

The visuals are great! Makes you want to run out and start shooting. I just love this book. Thanks Gary.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is simply the best of its kind., November 22, 2001

This review is from: Corporate & Location Photography (Kodak Pro Workshop Series) (Paperback)

It gives you hard won experience from a photographer at the top of his field. From what (and how) to pack for a travelling assignment, to making sure you get paid on time.

But not only that, Gary Galadstone gives you the benefit of his creative mind too. How to creatively shoot your way out of tricky situations. Turning potentially hopeless locations into great photographs.

I got the impression that Gary was trying to include as much as possible in this book. He could have left loads out and it would still have been a good book.

Just buy it, you wont be sorry. I'm sure I'm not the only person to have wished he had read it at the beginning of his career.

I found this book so generous with tips, codes of practise and his experience I felt I had to personally thank the author, and THAT doesn't often happen!
