Review: Trick Photography and Special Effects

Trick Photography and Special Effects

We recently received a copy of a new book by photographer Evan Sharboneau. Sharboneau has a truly informative blog with some incredible tutorials at PhotoExtremist.com. I was really pleased with the way the book was organized. No matter what your level of skill or experience with photography, you will find this book a valuable resource that you will return to again and again.

There are so many real examples, all clickable that link to the web for even further review. This book even has clickable links to step by step tutorials for many of the techniques illustrated.
