It assumes you'll be working as a photographer's assistant and then going out on your own into a commercial studio environment. Unfortunately, that was a scenario that worked in the prior millennium and that has been heavily diminished in the current market. While many photographer in larger cities, especially those associated with advertising and fashion, are still going through this process successfully, many more are starting out in online environments, multi-media, blogging and so on.The other issue with this book is that the information is really rather limited. Suggestions to get an online social media presence are valid, but the book falls woefully short in describing how, or what works best. The book's general assumption that photographers will be working fashion, while valid for those cities mentioned, ignore vast areas of commercial photography, including portraiture, weddings and event, art photography and most forms of photojournalism.The information presented is accurate and, for limited people, accurate and appropriate. But the book is fast becoming outdated and has less of an application to photographers who didn't come through a traditional school and apprenticeship. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MUST READ book for young photographers or those who need to brush up on basics of the photo business. *by Q***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015* Excellent book written by the former first assistant to Doug Menuez. It is a how-to-reality-guide into the real-life of working commercial and editorial photographers and what it takes to make it and excel in a hyper-competitive world. I only wish it had been written when I was a young photographer just starting out.Read this book and then go join APA (American Photographic Artists) or another photo trade group. http://www.apanational.com ### ⭐⭐ Good book, terrible postage and condition! *by V***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019* The book itself is very good! It gives you a very deep and insightful perspective of many of the issues and challenges that you have to face and overcome to be a successful practitioner. I totally recommend it! However, I was extremely disappointed with the state in which the book arrived. It was visibility damaged and the cover was all scratched and dirty. It seems like they just throw the book inside the box and nobody cared to place any kind of protection such as bubble wrap. I know that for some people this might not be a huge issue, but in my opinion, I believe that if you are buying something listed as "new" you should receive it in good condition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19568689-what-they-didnt-teach-you-in-photo-school-the-secrets](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19568689-what-they-didnt-teach-you-in-photo-school-the-secrets) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
