Photo Book Review: Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained

For 15 years Grant Scott worked as an art director of photography books and magazines and in 2000 he decided to make the transition to professional photographer. This background—and his years of extensive experience in the field—provided Scott with a solid perspective on the fast paced, every changing world of photography. His book, Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained is a valuable handbook designed to guide photographers through the complex maze that is the international marketplace and help them thrive there.

With the invention of digital cameras, new advances in technology occur each year and as a result photography has evolved to keep pace with the science. Scott provides readers a wealth of practical examples and detailed advice on such topics as how to be well versed in the creation of still and moving images, designing and maintaining a successful website, using social media to your advantage, managing your print sales and exhibiting your work. He also provides pro quality tips on such vital aspects as understanding your budget and how to copyright your work in the digital age. Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained proves its true value in so many ways and I recommend adding it to your personal library.
