Vision Mongers by David duChemin, a truly good reading

There's an intersting book I recently red and that I feel like reccomending to anyone either simply interested in photography or seriously determined into turning it into his business.

This is not a know-how book. Nothing to do with exposure, composition or alike. Is a book that helps you putting together a plan to make a living in this business. Is about motivations, dedication, strenght, marketing and general ideas that will sure help the reader desing his own path (or giving up)

I enjoyed the reading, duChemin is a goor writer and is quite fun too, but most of all, even though the subject could be boring, it never gets to that point, is always alive, sparkling and uttely interesting.

Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques for Location Photography

My 2 humble cents. Check out this book by Kirk Tuck. Is an understandable, useful, simple and yet terrific book about the use of small location lights. He not only explains all the technical requirements, tricks and useful tips to get the best out from even the cheapest goods, but he also gives practical examples with images and drawings that explain how to practically build a successful lighting set up for many different situation

I think this is the right book for those who, like myself, love to use the small portable flash and want to get the best out of its potential
