A gripping drama about Ruth Ellis; the last woman to be hanged in Britain. A divorcee with a young child to care for; Ruth works in the kind of nightclubs where theres more than just a drink on offer. The girls work hard; play hard and dream of a movie-star life. Then she meets the wealthy; womanising David; a racing driver with whom she becomes obsessed. Fame comes - but not in the way she imagines. Why does their relationship end in murder? Why does she plead not guilty but offer no defence? Why does she show no remorse? And who is she trying to protect? The Thrill of Love dramatises the true story of Ruth Ellis; the last woman to be hanged in Britain; and takes a fresh look at the woman behind the headlines. Terrific - Guardian Absorbing... the writing is playful and pin-sharp - Telegraph Tense and engaging throughout... a triumph - The Stage

Great book for aspiring wedding photographers to develop their own styleBy Enche TjinWedding photography Unveiled by Jacqueline Tobin features 20 wedding photographers who share their philosophy; images and gears. From this book; we can learn about diversity in wedding photography.Couple decades ago; wedding photography is boring and very traditional. But now; wedding photography has become very interesting. Thanks to digital photography and new breed of creative photographers. It is interesting to know that documentary/photojournalist style are very popular now and this style has been embraced by many wedding photographer featured in this book; but traditional staged portrait are still there as well.This book is divided on several chapters which usually represent a stage in a typical European style wedding such as getting ready; ceremony; portrait session; and reception. On each section; about five photographers will tell their approaches.The book also discusses briefly about business aspect such as marketing; equipments and getting published in magazines.At the end of the book; each photographers featured get a profile page; highlighting their bio data and gears. Although I find it unnecessary and redundant. I also find that there are many typo especially in the name of photography gears. For example; there is Canon 6D in one of photographers gear list which might be 5D.I think that this book is awesome for aspiring wedding photographer that has yet to find their style. For experienced wedding photographers that already find their own style; this book might not be that helpful.Please visit my blog for more photography related review. You can find it from my profile page. Thaks for reading!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful!By Jen TXI ordered this book after I saw that several photographers who I respect had offered insight in it.It just arrived today so I havent had a chance to try out any of the advice; however I must say it is really laid out beautifully. I love that each photograph has a "recipe" of how it was created. I also enjoy the bios in the back where I can see what each of these photographers uses to shoot their award-winning photos.This book is a must-have for any wedding photographer or aspiring wedding phototographer!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
