I ordered this book with anticipation. The reviews were mostly favorable and Paul's work recommended. However, the book falls short in several areas.
Pet Photography Now! is heavy on anecdotes and light on usable content. The text focuses mostly on a common sense approach that most photographers would practice regardless of skill level. For example, how many times must the reader be told not to wear nice clothing to an outdoor photo shoot? Some crucial subjects such as lighting are addressed but only in a cursory manner. The section on photo editing is woefully insufficient and makes one wonder why it was even included at all. Additionally, for a book with only 115 pages of actual content, much of it is pictures with captions that often do not highlight technique.
If you are looking for a 50 page short story stretched to produce a book, this is for you. However, those of you expecting a reference book with a wealth of information will be disappointed. After reading this light book cover to cover I have little reason to open it again.
