A great insight on flower photography for few bucks

Recommended! Nice introduction to flower photography, especially because of the framing advice... Won't regret it!

Excellent book for someone who is starting out

In this book, the subject of flower photograpny is taken apart and analyzed, subject by subject. The intended audience is, I believe, the fairly new amateur, because the authors do not assume any familiarity with types of cameras, lenses or film. The text is accompanied on every page by photos (often quite striking) by the authors illustrating the subjects discussed. Having no background in photographing flowers but having embarked on a project to take pictures of a good many, I found this book quite helpful. I can't say that I have taken pictures as fresh as stunning as those the authors provide, but I believe have come up a notch or two. Well worth the price and time to read.

One of the Best

I have many photography books, but there are only a few I actually use. The Field Guide to Photographing FLOWERS, by Allen Rokach and Anne Millman will be one of them. All the essential information is here including how to use natural light and shaping an aesthetic design. Comments on previsualization and how to think visually were very insightful. As a professional nature photographer who also teaches, I am excited to find a new resource to recommend to students. I figure if it's helpful to me, the students will love it, too. Kudos to Allen and Anne. I love your book!

Outstanding examples of flower photography

Both domestic and nature flowers are covered. The flower photos are totally outstanding and worth the price alone. It should inspire anyone to shoot great flower photos.
