I&#8217;m really excited about this book, it&#8217;s so far been a really fun process and I&#8217;ve also been creating a lot of yummy photos to go in it (which you&#8217;ve probably already previewed if you read my blog). This will be my third book with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peachpit.com\/\">Peachpit<\/a> and another addition to the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.peachpit.com\/imprint\/series_detail.aspx?ser=2526596\">Snapshots to Great Shots<\/a>&#8221; series. I was waiting for the cover-shot to be updated on Amazon with the final image before I posted this to my blog, so here it is! It&#8217;s officially official and is available for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0321784111\/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=nicolephotog-20&amp;camp=213381&amp;creative=390973&amp;linkCode=as4&amp;creativeASIN=0321784111&amp;adid=0ZAN9EPPZ4NS4538JKDW&amp;\">pre-order on Amazon.com<\/a>, and it should be in print and released sometime late Summer (August-ish).<\/p>\n<p>This book is for <em>anyone<\/em> interested in food photography. Whether you&#8217;re new to photography or have been a photographer for years, you&#8217;ll find a lot of relevant information on how to photograph, style and even edit your food photographs on the computer. The first two chapters are geared towards beginning photographers, as I explain the basics of photography and gear that can be used when photographing food. In the rest of the book I talk about light, styling, props, composition, editing in Adobe Photoshop and also an entire chapter on behind-the-scenes setups from start-to-finish to include styling, lighting (with BTS illustrations and photographs), and the editing process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you may already know that I&#8217;m writing another book, and you might also know that this next one will be about food photography!
