So its almost that time of the year when we all gotta buy christmas presents for our nearest and dearest. Ive decided to buy the missed a photography book, shes fairly new to it (~1 year) but takes decent pics (not just a touristy type snapper).

Basically Im looking for recomendations for decent books that will help her improve but that will be decent to read. Shes a law student so already has enough terse boring text books.

She shoots digital.

Suggestions?

Ty /p/. Enjoy the picture of something she loves more than me.

I highly recommend Brian Peterson's "Understanding Exposure" and "Learning To See Creatively".

to be honest technical books on photography are mostly shit and boring to read.

they dont teach you much and books like "Understanding Exposure" and "Learning To See Creatively" are a joke.

why dont you insted get a collection book of pro photographers and artists ...etc. these offer inspiration over crap like "how to meter a lake". Which she doesnt need to know if she shoots digital as if shwe gets it wrong its no big deal.

no one can teach you how to be creative. you either are or you arnt.

He doesn't do much in the way of technical guides, but does inspire creativity.

The best photo manual I've seen (excepting ansel adams' three books) is "Photography" by London. My school uses it as the textbook for at least three of the classes in the photo BFA
