Yarrow makes terrific photos, and he has some solid advice for aspiring photographers. Worth reading if you’re in that cohort.

My real issue with the book is that it’s small, so it doesn’t do the pictures justice. Here it is compared to my hand and a 5-pound Chihuahua:

Other than that, it’s solid.

This brief book of advice from one of the professionals, David Yarrow, was just the right length for a how-to guide, so to speak. I love that he didn't choose to talk about aperture, depth of field and all of that; more the elements that draw people in rather than a technical guide. One of the issues I have with books of this nature written by the big boys (or girls!) in the field is that it's sort of beyond the everyday Joe. I'm not going to get to Tanzania or Iceland. My photos are in my backyard. That being said, Mr. Yarrow is insanely talented and obviously very passionate about what he does so it was a good read and the pictures were beautiful.

Está bien tener un librito aunque sea pequeño con fotos de David (un grande de los retratos de animales). En cuanto al texto, es una mezcla de consejos con algún detalle técnico que nunca está de más tener en cuenta, pero que difícilmente te va a sorprender demasiado.

Metódico conciso y claro. Fotos bellísimas y una explicación exhaustiva de su proceso pre, durante y post de fotografía. Recomendadisimo
