On Being a Photographer: A Practical Guide

.:Customer review

When I bought this book I didn't realize how it would actually be exciting to read! I mean, I love photography, but usually reading about boring photo-jargon can get old; however, I couldn't put this book down. Neither speaker focuses much on the technical side of photography, rather the more abstract, yet practical, ins-and-outs of their business.

Besides the fact it is easy and fun to read, Bill Jay and David Hurn's advice is concise and based on their many years of experience in the field. Even though it is a tad outdated (I believe it was published in '98), the information is still generally relevant to the struggles of beginning photojournalists.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn the ropes of the business side of Photography, specifically becoming a photojournalist.
