The Glitterguru on Photoshop: From Concept to Cool
By Suzette Troche-Stapp
ISBN: 073571133X
240 pages
$39.99
This book wasnt This book wasnt exactly what I expected, but I found
it to be interesting anyway. It is more for the person who wants to do
professional photography and/or serious retouching of photos for
publications. Troche, aka the Glitterguru, gives diagrams on lighting
set-ups for photo shoots and LOTS of info on retouching photos,
including color photos for each example.
The author goes into detail about how freelancers get contracts for and
produce images for various purposes. The chapter o n pre-production
tells you how to nail down the concept, create a shot list, gather your
team, cast a model, get props, get storyboards to crew, doing lighting
set-ups and test shots, etc. Sounds kind of like making a movie.
She also has a chapter of advice on how to deliver your finished
product to clients. (RGB or CMYK, print or digital, etc.) And, theres
a good section on the business of photography and digital imaging. It
covers marketing, estimating a job, copyright issues and more. There is
even information on how to deal with art directors and other creative
types.
Suzette has a significant on-line presence at
http://glitterguru.com/suzette/index.htm. You can find examples from
the book on there.
If you are starting out in the business of photography or editing
digital images, or are just thinking about it, this would be a good
book to read. It will give you a look at whats involved, and advice on
how to make money in the business.
