I really enjoyed this book. I found it most beneficial to actually look at her pictures and the settings that she used to achieve that photo. The tone was very informal, which I appreciate. She's obviously knowledgeable in food styling and photography. I did disregard a lot of the information, especially on artificial lighting, because I eat what I prepare and photograph and don't have lengthy photo shoots. Reading this book did give me a little more confidence and renewed my desire for good photography for my blog. I found myself immediately wanting to try new things, acquire a few more props, and experiment more. While I borrowed this from the library, I feel like it is a book I wouldn't mind having on hand to reference regularly. I made sure to follow her on twitter and added her blog to my Google Reader so I can pick up tips along the way.
