Just received my book a few days ago and have read it entirely through once and bookmarked several pages for future food shot self assignments. I had the pleasure of meeting Jean Ann Bybee a couple of weeks ago and got to tour her studio to see where all the magic happens. I was as impressed with her as I have been in her book. The illustrative photographs are excellent and the how and why to use certain things to achieve a perfect food shot ending is superb. I've been a professional photographer for over 18 years and started shooting food just two years ago. If you are interested in shooting and styling food then this is the only book you need to get a very pleasing result. Good luck and happy reading!
