A book on photography

by ensmallen » Fri Feb 24, 2023 11:07 am

Real longshot here, all I remember is
--it's a big coffee table book published in the 1990s or early 2000s at most,
--it's about photography for professionals, for making ads, filmwork and stuff,
--it belongs to a series since I vaguely remember the words "year" and "best" in the title, "year's best" or "best of" sumthin-sumthin'.

Inside is a photo of a one-storey plastic dollhouse. Apparently it's sitting on a white-painted tabletop against a featureless background of the same color. Out front are flowerbeds planted with Lego plants and a swimming pool—a hole sawed into the tabletop with aluminum foil instead of tiles for coping—with a toy jumping board. In the upper left, caught just before it could leave the frame, a man's hand is holding an Oreo dripping with milk from the pool. Finally, down on the tabletop in front of the dollhouse, standing in a plastic-framed doorway, a brunette in a floral bikini is looking up at the Oreo laughing. The rest of the page the photographer walks through how the shot really is a photo of a tabletop and how they got the model in it absolutely seamless.
