    I bought this book same time I ordered Bryan Peterson, Understanding Close-Up Photography. I was extremely disappointed with Bryan Peterson book. What’s the difference? If you are looking for a book printed in nice paper and has good binding, few useful tips, not much on macro photography, then go for Bryan Peterson, but if you are looking for learning close up photography, then this “Essence of Close-up Photography” is the best.

    Nasrul is the best photography authors I have come across. I’ve never before read anything so easy to understand! I highly recommend this book.

    When I first bought my DSLR, I had no idea what photography is. So, I was browsing through websites for tips and then I found a link to L&C and I bought this book. And since then, it helped me get knowledge of the simplest of stuffs on photography. Buying this book was definitely one of the best decisions I have made!

    I have read a lot of books on photography in past 6 years, but this has definitely been the easiest one that I have read. I like the fact that most of the photos are taken with Nikon, without using any flash. Nasrul really knows close-up photography and I would recommend this to anyone interested in that subject. You will learn from this book a lot, and if you practice the methods nasrul advocates, you will become a better photographer. Highly Recommended!

    I browsed this author’s other book about composition and thought he had amazing photos. Then, I bought this book too, I hope it’s better than that one. Nasrul puts everything you need to start in close-up photography together into one book. Chapter one is not for an advanced photographer, but it is a great way to get started. There are lots of technical parts, which is helpful for close-up. I can tell you from experience that figuring out close-up and macro ratios can be pretty confusing if you start on your own. This is the book for you to get start with.

    This book helped me create some great shots that I otherwise would never have seen. With the vast number of photography books on micro and close up, I’d put this one way top on the priority reading list.

    Close up photography requies special techniques, and often equipment as well. This book covers them all. If you are looking to get started in Close-Up then this is the book for you.

    Though this book mostly revolves around the artistic and compositional aspects of close-up photography in the second chapter, but in chapter one I have explored so much basic that I have never learned in my past 10 years of photography. .

    If you are looking for a book to learn the technique of close up photography then this is the right book. This book masterfully explains the techniques and expertly recommended the required equipment needed to accomplish the task.
