If the stock photography you do does NOT have people in it (Such as product or travel photography), this book is of no value at all to you. This book ONLY deals with topics such as how to arrange a shot with models, or what are the uses for the types of photos with people in them.
This book is being tossed in the trash, as it doesn’t even have enough value to even take up my bookshelf space!

I was very disappointed in this book. It was not current enough and much of the information was older and not as relevant as I had hoped.

A good, solid bunch of information that will be useful for all photographers that want to start out, or re-start, in stock photography.
