Review of Classic Family Portraits by Ed Pedi

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a fairly quick read because of the layout- one full page image with a full page description and set up diagram for the image. This also makes it easy to flip through and pick and choose what you want to read based on the image. I also liked that he includes a few images that are 10 or 15 years old as they wonderfully illustrate the title of the book. They are classic for a reason. While they might be old they do not look dated even the clothes and decor don't really give it away. He also has a few images from family reunions and offers spot on advice for making everyone in a large group look good. There are several families who appear more than once showing that if people are happy with your work they will come back again and again. He even has his own family portrait in the book which is something you don't often see. All in all an excellent book and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking at photographing families professionally.
