Recommended Books by other Authors
Tony Sweet
Tony's new book, Fine Art Flower Photography, is as good as it gets. Sweet's images are breathtaking and painstakingly designed. I am a huge fan of Freeman Patterson, and Tony's work and writings remind me a lot of Freeman.
Tony Corbell
Tony's lighting book, Basic Studio Lighting: Photographer's Complete Guide to Professional Techniques, is everything you've always wanted to know about lighting. He is a master of explaining things simply. Maybe it's the Texas drawl, but you will know a lot more about lighting after you read his book.
John Lund
Photoshop Compositing with John Lund. John Lund is one of my favorite all time photographers. His work cracks me up and it is as complex to do as it is fun to look at. Whippets tangoing, cats sumo wrestling, it's all here, plus how to do it. This is a book that every Photoshop lover must own.
Kathleen Hawkins
Kathleen Hawkins of Jeff and Kathleen Hawkins fame, is one of the nicest people and hardest working woman I've ever known. Her new book, Marketing and Selling Techniques for Digital Portrait Photography, is a collection of savvy marketing tips and great photos. Anybody interested in "building a better mousetrap" should own this book.
Deborah Lynn Ferro
Deborah's new book, Artistic Techniques with Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter, is a book anybody working in the world of creative digital photography needs to own. Deborah is a great student and teacher. What she doesn't know, she investigates fully. What she knows she can explain in the simplest terms. She's a great artist and communicator.
