5.0 out of 5 stars Finding the Picture and Making it Better, March 15, 2005

By	John Matlock "Gunny" (Winnemucca, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Digital photography has dramatically changed the world of photography, not just of wedding pictures but of all photography. Yet, as this book shows, the more the world changes, the more it remains the same.

It's still up to the photographer to find the right instant to click the button on the camera. This book is a collection of about two hundred wedding pictures from around the world. It shows how the best wedding photographers from around the world produce wedding albums that delight their customers, who in turn recommend them for other weddings.

Beyond taking the picture, this book shows the result of using Photoshop to enhance the pictures. This is not a book on Photoshop, it doesn't say how to do this, it just shows a lot of pictures that have been Photoshopped to produce an image better than what the camera saw.

This book is an excellent step by step guide to the actual wedding shots that you need to take. It has excellent posing tips from the brides formal shots through to the reception. I found it to be extremely informative and a must have for my needs.
