RATING: 5 stars
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: After 30 minutes of browsing through hundreds of photography books in Borders, I was able to find this book Fashion Photography Course. I was pleasantly surprised as i did not know BARRON'S would publish such informative photography books.
Well after 10 minutes of sifting through the book, I was hooked. The structure of the information was very intuitive. Each showcased image details the Objectives of the main teaching points of the tutorial and what is required. The tutorial is clearly defined in the page, following Exercises to practice the newly learned lighting setup with reference to the Feature Boxes and Diagrams. Amazing amazing amazing job developing this book.
PROS:
-Easy reading
-Structured references
-Majority of showcased images are of high quality and execution
-One stop shop book about photography technique and how to penetrate the photography business.
CONS: None!
CONCLUSION: If you need a good quick reference photography book, I highly recommend this book. I often refer to this book before every shoot as a refresher course to lighting my subject and background. Check out my work at [...] and let me know if this book helped me or not. You be the judge.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to know from the basics to the advance of the fashion photography business. Its one of my top books on my photo bookshelf, the reading is not long and drawn out but gets right to the point.It covers everything from location to lighting to presenting your portfoilo and much much more. I can saftely said that its arguably one of the if not the best fashion photography book on amazon.
