For a good six years now, I've been primarily dedicated to automotive photography. Until now, I've taught myself everything I know about the subject—practicing a lot, reading up on things, or looking for tips online when something wasn't working the way I wanted. Of course, that takes a lot of time and hasn't always been productive, so I've always been left with unanswered questions.

Now I came across Julia's book on photographing cars by chance and I have to say, I should have had this book 6 years ago, then I would have gotten to where I am today faster.

A superbly structured approach; every question you might initially have is answered with excellent explanations and, above all, understandable answers. There are plenty of tips and tricks, you'll be pointed out mistakes to avoid, and you'll learn a thorough understanding of photography from the ground up. I highly recommend it to anyone who's in the automotive industry or wants to be. A small book with great added value.

The funny thing about our collaboration is that we didn't know each other personally at the time, only indirectly through two friends, and that's how we got talking. My problem with the lockdown and the progress of my book was that I didn't have pictures of all the positions and everything I wanted to show, and I couldn't take any new ones. I still don't know exactly why, but he trusted me and my idea and offered me access to many of his photos. Thanks to his help, the first issue was published that same year. We even met in person afterward to photograph a job together for a local car dealership.
