Started Reading Visual Poetry
I do not have many book reviews although I like reading very much.
Purchased the book about a month ago. I put it on my shelf which is kind of a book reading queue and now it is my current read. Main reason for getting this book? Review after review and I also want to increase my creativity through photography. Reading books, tutorials, looking at other peoples photos, Flickr (see my older post on Can Flickr Make you a Better Photographer). I understand from watching my kids that learning by example or emulation is very natural for us humans and works.
My current photography book top 5 list is:
- Understanding Exposure – I have read this 5 times now and will read again (I will write a review of this book soon).
- Understanding Shutter Speed – same author as above and the same for this book a must read and re-read.
- Photography and the Art of Seeing – a workshop based book, a must have for any level photographer!
- Ansel Adams in Color – amazing….. got to have it book.
- Hot Shoe Diaries – Flash photography at its best…..
Suggestions are always welcomed. I would like to know what everyone else is reading……
Argh! Just lost my comment because I forgot to fill in my name. Doh!
Our top two are the same. Reading Hot Shoes right now and the verdict is still out. Highly recommend “The Moment It Clicks” by Joe. Fantastic and highly recommended.

Thanks Jim. I have at The Moment It Clicks on my list, but further down. At some point I realized that for me too many books on the same subject is a bit overwhelming. That is why I read one book on every subject then read another subject. Keeps each subject fresh for me.
I can recommend another book which I think is fantastic on portraits and lighting. Master Lighting Guide for Portrait Photographers.
