This sounds good – I like the sound of a book with plenty of diagrams! From the description it sounds like it might be useful for food photography, with the tabletop and lighting emphasis. Has anybody had a look at it with a view to using it to improve their food photography?

Good review. Sounds like quite a good book.

I would be very interested in the book if there was a section on using everyday objects for lighting. I don’t have nearly enough money for a circular flash, and haven’t had time to make a light box.
If it hasn’t been done already, a good set of tips on lighting macro photos using only what one has around the home (natural light, desk lamp, halogen, candle, etc.) would be cool.

Very nice review.

I’ve heard about the book before and now, after your review, I’m convinced to buy it.

Let’s see if it is as good as I’ve been reading around.
