What books can beginners of photography read?

Speaking of recommended bibliography, Hot Boot Diary is definitely the first recommendation. Very good knowledge of light, color and flash, clear words and lighting layout. What this book can learn can be extended to many aspects of photography.

American photography lighting course is also very good, most of which is about still life lighting. I often watch it because there is a lot of knowledge in it, and every time I watch it, I have a new experience. This book has a very in-depth explanation of photography light, what kind of lighting methods different subjects need to choose and so on. More importantly, the knowledge you have learned here can not only be used in still life shooting, because in the final analysis, light is the foundation of everything, and learning to use light is half the battle.

The book Extreme Exposure can actually be a beautiful picture book, because the pictures in it are so beautiful. What is explained here is the extreme exertion of shutter in photography, from high-speed solidification dynamics to long-exposure waterfalls to stacked star orbits.

There are three books in the book, Looking Back at the Master, documentary, art and portrait. Just enjoy it as a picture album. They are all works of world-renowned masters, which are more suitable for young artists.

Only these books. Although other books are illustrated, the knowledge points are too difficult and the translation is rubbish, so they are not recommended.
