3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 outa 5 - my reasons why!, 29 Dec 2005
By A Customer
Hi. Thanks for taking the brief time to read this and I hope it helps in your book selection.

I've been shooting weddings and natural portraiture now semi-profesionally for 2 years, turning full time recently. As Christmas was looming I thought a few books on this subject would make ideal presents for the in-laws to buy so wanted to pick something appropriate. I was therefore looking for some inspiration, some technical wisdom, and a few tips from those in the know.

I selected this book based on the review written giving it 5 outa 5 but was a little cautious due to the other poorer review - so in fact also requested a 2nd book (just to cover the options!!)

Annabel's book is divided into two sections - half portraits, half weddings. She clearly has an ability to take good photos, and describes well in the book how to go about a shoot in its various stages. The book is sensibly laid out and reads well - it covers shoots from in the studio and at the subjects home. She talks through equipment used which happens to be med format and 35mm but not digital. For those of you shooting digital and moving away from med format (like myself) some of the info is a little old hack. This is demonstrated I think mostly in the wedding section where she uses a tripod for photos which I feel in this day and age (and for my stle of photography - reportage) is out of the question.

It's for this reason I give the book only 3.5 as I wanted a 'contemporary' photography book, so those boxes for me were only ticked 50%. I did reassure me in my photography work, which was half the reason sub conciously I expect I wanted the book. In reality I probably knew 90% of what was dicussed, it just helped me believe.

For those of you not bored of this epic by now.... the other book I bought was Stephen Swains 'capture the moment' wich rocks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Recycled books, 26 Feb 2004
By i r cooper (Seaton Carew, Cleveland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have Williams's last two books and I bought this thinking it was a new book but was gutted to discover it's just two of her previous books bound together.
She has excelled herself with a new marketing ploy, recycling old books to unsuspecting buyers. The book is getting out of date, there is no mention of digital imaging. There are better books out there on this subjest matter but if you havent got her other books this could be worth a look as she gives some usefull tips.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bring in the Old!, 6 Sep 2007
As Annabel Williams is pushing "Contempory Photography" on her courses its a shame she can't do the same with her books. This merger of old material is very disappointing and does not even mention digital. If you already have her other books its probably best to read those again instead of buying this copy! Save your money and buy one of the more up to date books out there instead. Much more contemporary and full of useful bits of info.
