After reading your articles about portrait photography, it is hard to imagine there are better books and info. :)

Why on earth should anyone be so shocked that a photography book is published for film and not digital?

Having a digital sensor is behind the shutter instead of a square of film does not change any of the basic principles of photography.

Also, although it is in decline there are many people out there still using film.

hehe – yes that design was a bit average but the hand-drawn setups were helpful.

thanks Scott.

How ironic!

I just went on a book binge, too, and that’s one of the books that I purchased!

I was wondering the same thing about the film, and was a little shocked that it was from 2002.

One thing that annoyed me was the page design. The leftover RayGun design with the direction lines and arrows…ugh.

As far as content, yes, it was very wholesome. The book doesn’t beat you over the head, but it delivers complicated topics very easy. I like the approach that it takes on light. The hand-drawn setups are excellent learning guides.

I recommend it. It’s a good read!
