Fine Art Photography: Creating Beautiful Images for Sale and Display

Rating:
Summary: High Style, Low Substance
Review: This is a beautifully designed hard-cover book with many interesting and well-printed photographs.

Unfortunately, the design gets in the way of the information flow. The type is very small (maybe about 6 pt.) and gray. If you have anything less than excellent vision, this may be a difficult read.

This book covers a lot of topics relating to marketing fine art photography. Even with the small type, however, most topics are not covered in depth: a few paragraphs per topic is the norm. It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to read all of it. The profiles of various photographic artists are interesting, but also brief.

So, if you think of this as a picture book with some added ideas about the creation and marketing of photographs, you'll be happy with your purchase. If you're looking for in-depth coverage of the subject, you'll be disappointed.
