"Very few books have the power to change the way you work, impact your career, and suddenly change everything. This is one of them."
-- From the Foreword by Scott Kelby, Editor, Photoshop User magazine

  • shows you how to solve the greatest challenge of all -- being your own photo lab.
  • puts your skills into practice with specific projects.

Whether you're shooting high fashion, portraits, lingerie, or swimsuits, in the studio or on location, your "secret assistant" is fully updated for Photoshop CS2 and illustrated with the Ames's own photographs. Order your copy today and master photographic and retouching techniques, learn efficient archiving and distribution workflows, and much more.

Dull, Boring and Unimaginative - Reviewed on 2008-08-26
*

A book filled with dull, boring and unimaginative portraits of pretty women and rehashed Photoshop techniques that have been commonplace for nearly a decade. Also, the thin content is presented in a typographic format that is nearly unreadable.

You'll get a much better insight into "The Art of Photographing Women" by reading the latest edition of Maxim magazine.

This book is great. At times a little hard to follow from one task to the next but I find it to be very in-depth and useful. The book covers so many tricks I would never have thought of. Ordering books to be shipped to Australia can be very much hit and miss, but this book is a A+++ buy.

I really wanted a good book for people in general. This book had some positive reviews elsewhere so I gave it a shot. I was not disappointed. Most of the rules and examples provided could be used on anything: humans or animals. Its about using photoshop to make images look beautiful. The book's layout, format and illustrations are also top notch and help with the teaching.

This books is based on the old saying, "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime." It teaches you how you can make changes to your 'raw' pictures into works of art. It emphasized the concept that can actually be applied to any type of photography. Personally, I like to take Portrait, Street Life, and Candid. This book really hope me to think more of how and what I want to have as my final result from the pictures I take. I used to think that postproduction of a picture is pointless but the more I learned from this book. It became more evident that that is not the case. It is an essential part of digital photography. Now, I can make the pictures I take to come out exactly the way I intended it to be.
More than a book about photographing women. - Reviewed on 2007-03-27

A practical guide to understanding and using lighting to capture the image as well as many useful techniques for improving images of people, especially women.
