Thanks, Mark

There are a plethora of books and video tutorials out there that cover "free range" studio shooting, but far too few that cover the realities of editorial and ad work -- shooting and set creation/lighting to design notes, making allowances for titles, copy, branding and so forth (leaving areas free of conflicting detail, providing adequate contrast, etc.). It may be more than a hobbyist wants to know, but for anybody who is thinking of going pro, it helps to know up front that creativity sometimes has to work within constraints. I'd like to see a lot more of this -- but I may be in the minority.
