Media Reviews
With imagery becoming increasingly important as a marketing tool, it is essential to present your work favourably. This is the book to help you ... Highly recommended. * Glass Network *
We would recommend any textile artist to invest in this book ... Packed with instructions showing both practical techniques and finished work, this is a worthwhile read. * Embroidery *
A good introduction to simple studio photography without insisting upon needing top-of-the-range professional equipment to achieve good results to achieve good images. * Findings: The Magazine of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery *
Covers all the areas one need to think about, from the camera's options to the lighting and background of the 'studio' used ... All the various aspects are written about simply and clearly; novices can easily follow the reasoning of the explanations. The points are also extremely well illustrated - the book is full of photographs showing the differences between the methods shown. This book very clearly shows that you can do justice to your craft collection without having to buy an expensive 'professional' camera. * Journal of Weavers, Spinners & Dyers *
