A great deal of imagination and a little bit of know-how are the basic ingredients in creative picture taking. This collection includes examples of professionally resolved studio photographs. What makes the close up of the glass of wine so enticing? It's all in the lighting and the background. How has that simple stack of boxes been made to look like skyscrapers? The key is in the reflecting screens and camera angle. Each full-page colour photograph in this book is accompanied by a brief text giving away the secrets behind the magic. Also included are the technical specs, the camera and a diagram showing how the shot was set up.
