Summary: Deceptively simple - incomparible to other books
Comment: When I first read this book, it was a borrowed copy from a friend. I read it in under an hour, and the following week I tried out a couple of the techniques recommended. My results were FANTASTIC! I now have incredible photos of my son (he was 9 months at the time) that capture his personality.
I didn't purchase this book right away because it seemed too simple for the money - it was so easy to use the techniques and it didn't take long to read the book. So, I went to the library and checked out some other books on photography - the National Geographic Society's Field Guide, another book on photographing children, etc.. All the other books were definitely more "meaty" in terms of what you can do to take better pictures. However, I got very lost in the talk of F-stops and aperture. I have a couple of point-and-shoot cameras and my subject matter, now a year old, is always on the move. I don't have the time, energy, or financial ability to get involved with the SLR cameras - that's a whole separate profession! So.. after months of looking, reading, and testing, I come back to this book -- deceptively simple, but PRICELESS in value. I am so thankful I got a copy before Amazon marked it unavailable.
If you were on the fence about this book, I would urge you to make the investment. There are still copies in bookstores (albiet at retail price) and it's probably available online somewhere. You can't lose!

Summary: A must have for new photographers
Comment: Where I'm coming from-- I have an associates degree in photography, and I worked as a photographer through my college years. It's been about 10 years since I took pictures for a living, but I still shoot lots of film and read a couple photo books a year to keep current.
If you are an experienced photographer: This book is NOT a technical guide, it's more of a style guide. I found this book useful for reminding me about the basic principles that make great people pictures--get close, use natural light, shoot lots of film, etc. I'm adding the book to my collection, but you may want to rent it from your library.
If you are a new photographer: I think you'll find this book very helpful. It doesn't dwell on techno mumbo-jumbo, and it explains how to get great pictures without special, expensive equipment. The lessons are also useful for inspiring you to "just do it." Simply put, it is the BEST book I've ever read for baby photography, and I think you'll love it as much as I did!

Summary: Will help you take amazing photos of more than just babies..
Comment: I flipped through this book at a store and was so amazed. Full-color, great presentation of deceptively simple ideas. His premise is this - - Amatuers take medicore photos because they:
**Don't shoot enough film. (Take more pictures!)
**Don't get close-enough to the subject (use your zoom! get close!)
**Use flash (turn your flash off!)
This is a great, easy book with real tips and you will amaze yourself at how much you improve your photos after reading this.
The only shortfall, as I recall, is that he doesn't include tips on photo-finishing. A good picture is dimished with a bad print. Some advice on how to deal with your photo lab, how to find a good one, and how to request different types of boarders and papers would be excellent.
