Showing respect and gaining their confidence is easy to see in the wonderful images of each of these very beautiful women. Technical advice of how and why with examples throughout the book will be of great value to most amateur and many semi-pros. Things like focus and exposure that have always been important whether working with capturing the digital or film image or for that matter the very beginnings of photography have not changed, they are still valuable and need to be emphasized today. What has changed and is noteworthy is the constantly evolving world of electronics, helping the photographer better manage lighting, equipment weight and even his time. The author delves into both of these subjects showing examples and explaining what equipment trends he uses while reminding the reader of the old tried and true basics of good photographic practice.
