A must-read book for photographers.

The road to photography, recommended 15 must-read photography books.

Now the Internet has long been a part of everyone's life, and various resources can be found everywhere in Weibo, Zhihu, official WeChat accounts and so on. But they all have a common problem: too scattered.

Fragmented knowledge only satisfies everyone's desire to learn, but it may not really satisfy everyone's learning purpose.

So, have you carefully read the tutorials on computers, mobile phones and collections?

In my opinion, books will never go out of date. It is still one of our best ways to learn, provided that you are really willing to settle down.

Now the book market is unprecedentedly prosperous, especially in the domestic book market. Although the reading time of China people is not long, they are enthusiastic about reading.

According to statistics, nearly one hundred thousand new books are put on the shelves every day. There are so many books, but I don't think there are many books about photography worth recommending reading. I sorted out some and shared them with you, hoping to help.

1, the road to independence: a photographer's survival manual

This is a book about the real life of independent photographers, and the author also tells the truth about independent photographers.

2. Photography textbook of New York Institute of Photography, USA

Only those that can stand the test of time are classics. This is the most widely known set of photography teaching materials, and it is also one of the earliest photography teaching materials introduced to China. From the principle of equipment to photography techniques, photography is completely analyzed from an academic point of view. Although there are no figures and later parts, we will never leave our original school, and we may gain more value by returning to the upstream source of knowledge.

3. On photography

Sometimes photography is not only technology, but also aesthetics and humanities and social sciences. This book is about photography in the cultural sense. It may not have many practical skills, but it will certainly bring a lot of inspiration.

4. Digital Photography Manual

Pay more attention to the actual combat of photography, that is, the level of methods and skills. Compared with the photography textbook of New York Institute of Photography, it may have an immediate effect.

5. Analysis of landscape photography

The explanation of landscape photography is very systematic. For beginners, it is actually a good choice to start with the scenery.

6. Photographic composition

It is the most useful book about composition that I have ever read, and there is no one. Basically, the composition has been explained clearly. If you can finish reading it, you will certainly benefit a lot.

7. Michael Freeman Photographer Trilogy (3 books)

Michael Freeman is an internationally renowned photographer and writer, and one of the most famous photographers in China. Many books on photography have been published in China, and the response is very high.

8. The art of photography

The author used to be a man with a double degree in science and engineering in a top university, but he devoted himself to photography as a fanatic and persisted for more than forty years. There are various illustrations in the book, which are easier to understand.

9. Photographic box: 2 10 masterpieces handed down from ancient times by great photographers.

Recorded the high-quality works of outstanding photographers in various periods and countries, including various fields. Zhang Zhang is a classic.

10, joe McNally's classic creative exhaustion trilogy: behind the moment+diary of hot boots+carving light (3 books)

The author was once one of the 10 photographers appointed by Beijing Olympic Games, and also the official partner of Kodak and Nikon, enjoying high prestige in the world.

1 1, the photographer's pilgrimage: a photographer's great journey for 30 years.

From advertising photography to news photography, the author haunts all beautiful and hard places and records the daily life of people with faith.

I still insist that self-study is not a good way to learn. A qualified teacher can greatly improve learning efficiency. I really don't want to know about the photography class at Weiyang Buddhist College.
