He shows all his lighting setups and ratios . The second book has a more food bloggernatural light feel to it . The third book is THE book for food styling . It has cooking and styling tips for just about every food . Some of the tips aren ' t great if you like to eat your food after you shoot it . But you can pick and choose what to use . All the food photography tutorials on creativelive and rggedu are really great . I ' ve watched them all and they are all quality . I can go more into detail on those . But you really can ' t go wrong .
