This book is a fantastic primer on photography and in particular food photography and presentation. I'm a budding food photographer and really enjoyed reading this book as it made me feel more confident in how to set up a scene before shooting and how to approach winter no-light situations. Her style of photography and choice of props is very tasteful and classic. I highly recommend this book!

I bought it because talks extensively about natural light photography and it's really great. Really simple tips and you can "manipulate" natural light easily!!. And, of course, food photography. :)
Composition, equipment, and fantastic pictures everywhere. Now to get clients. Thank you Helen!
