Format:Paperback
This is a book focusing on showing you lots of photos and then explaining how they were composed, why and what kind of equipment being used. The explanaitions are good, with a lot of detail and sometimes sketches of other possible compositions.
The photos are categorised into chapters like "Studio lighting", "Framing", "Capturing the moment" etc. The last part of the book is more focused on choosing camera, lenses etc.
Do not expect to find a book with lots of text in it. A nice spacious layout and great photos are the things you get.
Overall it is a book for the serious beginner/amateur and not for the pro. It is also for the person that wants inspiration rather than charts for developing your own film correctly.
