Please recommend a book on ad photography & image editing
Hi All!
I'm looking for a good book on photographic and image editing techniques used by advertisement agencies. You know, all these tips & tricks and secret stuff that normally nobody tells you about, such as using glass bricks instead of real lumps of ice in coca-cola commercials, etc. Could you please recommend something? I'd appreciate some links to amazon.com or similiar bookstores. TIA |

If you go to www.amazon.com and enter Advertising Photography in the search box you'll find several more. (I have links to Amazon with their best sellers on my website )- www.fotos4web.com You could also try looking at Ebay and there's a big selection of books there. Did you know that most shots of Ice Cream are actually Mashed Potato - Ice cream melts too quickly ... Best Wishes, Keith Jones |

How do they make glass bricks float? Wouldn't acrylic be a better material? -- Owamanga! |

I'd look through the photo magazine sites - they often have great tutorials.
Try www.dcmag.co.uk but my personal favourite for almost any problem is www.ephotozine.com who have really good tutorials on all kinds of things - like photoshop tutorials,lighting etc AND you can put up your own free gallery there - astonishingly high standard of work on display - I was most impressed.
