Customer Reviews
For the aspiring pro from the top
The introduction is long but sets up the credibility of the two main people and their background. Basically two professionals at the very highest level of the game discuss some useful concepts that I have not seen elsewhere.
Vanity publishing
I was immensely disappointed by this book. It seemed to promise so much depth and insight. It is structured as a conversation/interview between two knowledgeable photographers; but we quickly discover that one is an unashamed acolyte of the other. The text quickly degenerates into a fawning, vacuous, name-dropping style to which the authors are apparently habituated. There's no information, no insight, no inspiration and no intellectual courage. I burnt it.
For those who love photogrpahy
This is written for lovers of photography. Not only does it discuss the romance of camera and film, it has good information, it is motivating and it reminds those of us who have developer, stop and fix in our veins why we fell in love with the art.
Motivating, educational and a good read. Don't miss this one.
