Review by Library Journal Review

Established professional food photographer Ferroni discusses the range of professions available to photographers who specialize in comestibles. She thoughtfully explores sourcing and styling as well as the special challenges presented by working with the things we eat and drink. Case studies diagram camera and lighting setups of successful food images by the author and a dozen of her colleagues. VERDICT Though it has a little something to offer shutterbugs at all levels, this guide is best for experienced foodie photographers looking to try something new. (c) Copyright 2012.
