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!

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.

Excellent deal, product was better than rated, shipped fast, and was a very good price. I would do business with again.

Zen of Watering Your Garden
This is a really goodthe book to start flower photography with. It does teach most significantly how to achieve effective composition. Unfortunately it is out of date in the digital world.

Nature's beauty is everywhere not just in flowers and that it can be captured relatively simply using new and inexpensive digital cameras particularly those with image stability and macro functions built in.

I prefer these flowers and other subjects of Nature to be shot as they are and not in still lifes etc.

I published an entire collection of photos without any manipulation except cropping to fit the page. Matt Cohen

Recommended! Nice introduction to flower photography, especially because of the framing advice... Won't regret it!

Both domestic and nature flowers are covered. The flower photos are totally outstanding and worth the price alone. It should inspire anyone to shoot great flower photos.
