INTRODUCTION
each other except that a great shot, like a great entrée,
has a set recipe of ingredients and procedures. Hence the idea
for a photographic cookbook, with various recipes and pro-
cedures that define how a great photograph was made.
The concept is not new. In fact, Jen Bidner, one of the
significant contributors to this book, coined the phrase in a
book she authored called The Lighting Cookbook: Foolproof
Recipes for Perfect Glamour, Portrait, Still Life, and Cor-
porate Photographs (Amphoto, 2003). As a contributor to
Rangefinder, one of the leading trade magazines for profes-
sional photographers, Jen helped the magazine introduce the
concept to its readers in 2004. The feature, known as the “R f
Cookbook,” has become—and continues to be—one of the
most popular features in the magazine. The contents of this
book are derived from those articles in Rangefinder.
The photographers who appear in this book are well
known for various specialties: portraiture, wedding, commer-
cial, and fine-art photography—and just about every disci-
pline in between. The writers who penned the articles are also
frequent contributors to Rangefinder and well established
journalists.
This book was edited by myself, Emily Burnett (features
editor of Rangefinder ), and Oliver Gettell (editorial assistant
of Rangefinder) . The production was done by Michelle
Perkins, senior editor and production manager at Amherst
Media, and Barbara A. Lynch-Johnt, assistant editor.
We wish to thank all of the writers, photographers, edi-
tors, designers, and production staff that made this project a
reality.
