Reader comments
This book is very suitable for new photography mothers like me. The content is easy to understand and the writing is very smooth. The four authors explain photography knowledge very comprehensively, like a photography encyclopedia. Moreover, the examples in the book are very close to life, which reminded me of the scene when I took pictures of my baby. I think it is somewhat similar to the "New York School of Photography Photography Textbook", both of which are very practical photography guides. I plan to follow the methods in the book and practice more, hoping to take better-looking baby photos!
For novices, it can save them a lot of detours. For veterans, it can improve their photography mentality and discover their own problems.
The combination of pictures and texts is very helpful to learn photography knowledge, thank you
