Popis za čitanje:7 sjajnih knjiga o fotografiji za početnike
Ovdje u Photodotou volimo razmišljati o sebi kao o resursu koji fotografi početnici mogu koristiti kako bi im pomogli da poboljšaju svoje fotografije i pronađu nove, zanimljive izvore inspiracije.
Imamo čak i naš praktičan 7-dnevni tečaj e-pošte, koji možete dobiti besplatno upisivanjem svoje e-pošte u okvir desno od ovog odlomka.
Ali ponekad vam je potreban uključeniji izvor instrukcija, nešto dublje i detaljnije. Dobra vijest je da je na tržištu dostupan nevjerojatan broj knjiga napravljenih posebno za fotografe početnike. Zapravo, nedavno smo napravili veliki popis sjajnih knjiga o fotografiji koje treba pogledati.
Budući da profesionalni fotografi i edukatori neprestano pišu nove knjige te ažuriraju i revidiraju svoje starije radove, odlučili smo još jednom pogledati i vidjeti koje još sjajne knjige postoje a nisu dospjele na naš prvi popis.

O fotografiji Susan Sontag
Klasik Susan SontagO fotografiji neće objasniti ekspoziciju ili kako napraviti akcijske snimke (iako jesam, ako želite saznati). Nije poučna, a napisana je mnogo godina prije nego su postojali digitalni fotoaparati. Umjesto toga, Sontagina je knjiga zbirka eseja koje je napisala između 1973. i 1977.
U njima govori o povijesti fotografije, kao io ulozi fotografije u oblikovanju naše kulture. Može vam uvelike pomoći da preispitate vlastitu ulogu u društvu kao fotografa, kao i promijeniti način na koji gledate na svoj rad i rad drugih. Možete ga pronaći ovdje.

Write Your Own Book
You know, you can read every book in the world on photography, written by the greatest photographers who have ever lived, but you’ll never get any better until you get out and start taking pictures. And while knowing the basics of exposure, composition and all of the other details that go into a photograph will help you, understand that there are no actual rules when it comes to art.
So feel free to read as many books as you like and absorb as much information as you can from those who have come before you. But the most important thing is to be yourself. Let the person you are come through in your work. And whether or not you become a world-renowned artist or not, if you let yourself come through in your work, you’ll have done your very best.
