This inspiring and beautifully illustrated book by commercial food photographer Teri Campbell is a highly recommended guide for amateur / professional photographers serious about entering food photography and / or the business process of food photography.
The author / photographer explains the complete process of food photography: from setting up your studio / kitchen, camera equipment and how-to guides and advice on running a food photography business.
I acquired this book mainly for assistance with the following food photography / lighting fundamentals:
