I bought this book as a bundle along with Bruce Smith's "Pro Digital Fashion Photography". I feel this is the better of the two books although Bruce Smith's is also a very good book.
This book is very well structured leading you through essential equipment, lighting setups, putting together a portfolio and strategies on getting commissions.
If you worked your way through the tutorials in this book then I'm sure your photograph skills would take a massive leap forward.
Great book and great value (especially when bought as a bundle with Bruce Smith's book).
