Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Lovely in and of themselves, flowers are an obvious and popular subject for photographers. However, photographs of flowers must be exceptional if they are to satisfy viewers' high expectations. Previous collaborators on Focus on Travel: Creating Memorable Photographs of Journeys to New Places (Abbeville, 1993), Rokach and Millman here provide practical advice on how to deal with the challenges of photographing everything from tender blossoms to fields ablaze with spring flowers. Their useful technical advice-including specific information about working with natural light, choosing equipment, and techniques for capturing different perspectives-is well served by the excellent illustrations. Clear and detailed, their reasonably priced book is geared to amateur photographers and will be welcomed in larger photography collections in public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Best,
By Jean L. Carter (Coos Bay, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Field Guide to Photographing Flowers (Center for Nature Photography Series) (Paperback)
I have many photography books, but there are only a few I actually use. The Field Guide to Photographing FLOWERS, by Allen Rokach and Anne Millman will be one of them. All the essential information is here including how to use natural light and shaping an aesthetic design. Comments on previsualization and how to think visually were very insightful. As a professional nature photographer who also teaches, I am excited to find a new resource to recommend to students. I figure if it's helpful to me, the students will love it, too. Kudos to Allen and Anne. I love your book!

This review is from: The Field Guide to Photographing Flowers (Center for Nature Photography Series) (Paperback)
In this book, the subject of flower photograpny is taken apart and analyzed, subject by subject. The intended audience is, I believe, the fairly new amateur, because the authors do not assume any familiarity with types of cameras, lenses or film. The text is accompanied on every page by photos (often quite striking) by the authors illustrating the subjects discussed. Having no background in photographing flowers but having embarked on a project to take pictures of a good many, I found this book quite helpful. I can't say that I have taken pictures as fresh as stunning as those the authors provide, but I believe have come up a notch or two. Well worth the price and time to read.
