There is no doubt that Andrew Scrivani is an excellent food photographer. But can he teach? A hesitant yes. This book is more of an overview of what he does to make the magic happen. It is not a workshop in photographing food. There is plenty of solid information, but there are no assignments.
As a beginning photographer, and also a beginning food blogger, I now have a few tips under my belt. The camera settings and how to change them make more sense to me. The chapter on light and how to soften and shape it make sense. I'll need to play around with that a little more. The styling tips were good. There is a section on the food photography business which is a must read for anyone in the photography business. This is something I'm not going to do, but the tips were still good for dealing with contracts of any kind.
The book has lots of gorgeous pictures for examples and lots of text for explaining. I'm someone who learns by doing, so now, I'll be looking for a hands-on workshop or youtube videos or a mentor. This book is a good place to start and helped me be aware of what I don't know.

Amazing Photography
I could not put this book down. Not only is there amazing food photography in the book, but how to do it yourself. I am currently working on an associates degree in photography, this book expanded my knowledge. I highly recommend it.
