Fashion Photography: A Complete Guide to the Tools and Techniques of the Trade
January 1, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The impressive thing to me about Bruce Smith's book is that he doesn't leave anything out. He starts at the beginning with information about equipment and location needs straight thru to post production and marketing your images. This is by far the most complete guide to handling every aspect of a fashion shoot I have ever seen. And the beautiful photographs not only help to teach and explain but also to illustrate his wonderful work along the way. After reading and re-reading... because there is so much information in the book.... you feel that you have Bruce as your personal consultant helping to guide and encourage you along every step of the way. This really is a complete guide and one of those books that I will return to over and over.

Very well rounded book with many helpful details. As a beginner/intermediate photographer looking to expand my knowledge and enter the professional photography arena this book was perfect.
I would highly recommend it to a friend/colleague and I am reading for the second time, currently.

Yes I do wish there was a bit more on lighting, but he's coming out with a new book on that. This is by far the most complete and best organized book on fashion photography I've seen. It's helped me tremendously in my work
