What a disappointment! The author roamed America to take pictures of tacky professional photographers' interiors. I expected to find serious professional photographic equipment in high-ceiling rooms with beams and lamps and reflectors, but all there is in the book are pictures of lobbies, waiting rooms and gardens with cheap gazebos to shoot marriage pictures. Even as an interior decoration book it would be a gross failure. The only possible reader I can imagine for such a book would be for an American rural portrait-and-marriage photographer to get an idea of how his colleagues suites are arranged.

This book is right in the middle "average" in terms of quality. These are real portrait studios and some are dramatic and some are ordinary but interesting to look at. The book will give you ideas but keep in mind it is somewhat dated, most are pre-digital studios shown if that matters. If you're looking for a book that focuses on high tech NY high fashion studios this isn't it. But if you want to see a cross section of portrait photo studios across America than you'll find it worth reading.
