Jane Goodrich

Jane Goodrich is one of the top New York based newborn and child photographers. In her book she shares very simple and clear tips for getting the best out of your photographs, whether you are taking pictures of your kids or your pets or the gorgeous view on your vacation. She takes you through step by step, explaining terms to dummies like me including ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Even if you have a basic "point and shoot" type of camera, this book can still be extremely helpful to you.

Beyond working your camera and playing with the settings, she also teaches you, the photographer, how to "set up" your photos like making the best use of your lighting, the rule of thirds, and using contrast in your backgrounds.

After reading through all the tips, I want to pull my kids out of school for the day and take some fun photos. There are definitely ideas and tools that I know I can put to use.… (mehr)

This is the perfect book for those of us who think we can’t do without a point-and-shoot camera. It has an easy tutorial of light, shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, and ISO that didn’t make my eyes glaze over. So how do we get those amazing shots? It is all explained in her chapters on working with children and the tips she gives by age group, from infants to teens. There is also a chapter on troubleshooting that explains what is wrong when a photo doesn’t look right.

I am surprised with how much is packed into this 63 page book. Not only is there good information, but it is filled with stunning photographs which immediately gave me ideas for unique photographs of my own. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about taking eye-catching photographs.… (mehr)
