Book reviews - All posts in this category:
This is a small selection of my bookcase of photography books, and I have written a quick book review for the books I feel and the most important. There are book reviews for both amateur and professional photographers, if you have time spare I recommend you to sit down and blitz through a couple of these excellent photography books. The Michael Freeman photography books are an excellent series of photographic books, and he has many more in the range so you cannot go wrong with any one of these. I offer unbiased reviews of photography books – I have read a fair few, and have read them at all stages of my career, and have certainly helped me get where I am today. Go read..!
