The previous reviewer felt that this book wasn't strong on technique, but I'd have to beg to differ. Reading each of these chapters is like sitting down to a long lunch with the photographer. I guess it's true that you probably won't discuss specific light placement and such . . . but you'll still learn a lot about their creative approach, how they market their work, how they work with clients, and more. Those are all techniques that can make or break you in professional photography.
