Must Read Books

[chmille]

Hey, so hopefully this post can go here. But I love reading and learning new things, so I was thinking it would be cool to post must read books about photography/business/marketing. Anything that helps you or your studio.

Hi,

This is a blatant plug for my own book, but "Better PR and Editorial Photography" goes a long way to describing how to approach these types of shoots, with information that you might not find anywhere else.

See Learn how to take editorial and PR images you can be proud of
