Please recommend a book on ad photography & image editing

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Hi All!
I'm looking for a good book on photographic and image editing techniques
used by advertisement agencies. You know, all these tips & tricks and secret
stuff that normally nobody tells you about, such as using glass bricks
instead of real lumps of ice in coca-cola commercials, etc.

Could you please recommend something?
I'd appreciate some links to amazon.com or similiar bookstores.
TIA

Try this one :
Professional Secrets of Advertising Photography
by Paul Markow It's not too expensive - qaround $18 I think.
If you go to www.amazon.com and enter Advertising Photography in the search
box you'll find several more.
(I have links to Amazon with their best sellers on my website )-
www.fotos4web.com

You could also try looking at Ebay and there's a big selection of books
there.
Did you know that most shots of Ice Cream are actually Mashed Potato - Ice
cream melts too quickly ...

If you have Photoshop..."The Photoshop CS Book for digital Photographers"
by Scott Kelby is excellent. Lots of tips for fashion photography there.

I'd look through the photo magazine sites - they often have great tutorials.
Try www.dcmag.co.uk
but my personal favourite for almost any problem is www.ephotozine.com
who have really good tutorials on all kinds of things - like photoshop
tutorials,lighting etc AND you can put up your own free gallery there -
astonishingly high standard of work on display - I was most impressed.
Best Wishes
Keith
