Wedding Photojournalism: Techniques and Images in Black & White

Rating:
Summary: Very helpful
Review: This book is great for a young photographer starting out in the business. Many great ideas and stories from one of the truly great wedding photographers in the country. His thoughts regarding pricing and proper equipment and film selection. Some of the reviews below sound like jealous diatribes from Andy's competitors in New York and elsewhere. They should be jealous...they wish they could do what he has done! Look at the book and make your own judgement.

Summary: Fabulous
Review: This book tells it as it ought to be. A great book, especially for those photographers who already provide good quality photography to their brides and want to add another dimension. We should all develop the skills to offer our brides what THEY want, not what we THINK they ought to have. This book can definitely help.

Summary: He just doesn't get it !
Review: This was Denis Reggie's book to write, not Andy Marcus. Here's a traditional based shooter trying to explain - of all things - the mindset of the photojournalist (I have heard his seminars where he freely admits that he is no expert on p.j.! , yet here is his book!)... quite honestly, he just doesn't get it. I sense cash-in motive... very little usable info, even the images looked staged (not p.j.)... bride loooking into lens, somewhat cheesey. They built their name in NY with posey pictures and it shows. Very weak.
