This book is meant for for readers in the Real Estate industry, but is also helpful for anyone willing to learn about basic/intermediate photography. (It even tells you how to find a pro to do the advanced photography)
With this book, the reader will learn to translate Photography Language to English (or any other desired language), to tell the difference between a good photograph and a bad one, and to use advanced photography techniques.
This book even helped me pick out my desired amera and lenses!
When first getting into photography, I was having trouble deciphering the mumbo-jumbo listed under the Tech/Specs, and even while the internet helped with my research, nothing was as helpful as this book because of the way the author made everything so simple. There were examples, analogies, and even some good humor that helped me better understand everything I was reading, and helped meretain it!
Throughout the book, the author includes examples of photographs and how they could be improved (everything geared towards real estate, of course!), and his tips and tricks could get any real estate agent to do-it-themselves. There's also a large section solely dedicated to Photoshop, a program with which the author seems to be madly in love.
The author makes everything you need to know clear and simple, which makes this book an easy read.
I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to know how photography works, especially a real estate agent!

I found this book easy to read, very informative and a great resource for an aspiring photographer at any level. This book is very helpful to the beginner and is especially directed toward the real estate agent who has little knowledge of photography. The techniques are well illustrated and the writing is clear and organized with the additional bonus that it was written with a dry sense of humor. Great tips on Photoshop and professional digital cameras. Well worth the price.
