Title: Books for technical photographers.
Post by: Lorenzo Pierucci on May 31, 2014, 01:01:43 pm

Hi everybody,

I always consider that Books, are a photographer best way to learn. Even if forums ( like this ) and video tutorial are valuable, reading a book is a way deeper travel inside a topic. I will like to share the best book i read so far for the Technical aspect of photography and i invite anyone who wants to do same. To share knowledge.


-Construction and design manual, architectural photography ( fav by far )

-Using the view camera, Simmons

-Architectural photography, McGrath

-Basic photographic material and process -second edition ( this is not only for architectural photography )

-Ansel Adams series The camera

-Ezra Stoller Photographer ( which i call architectural photographer pornography )

I also got a copy of The art of photography Of B Barnbaum which seems to be a must read.

Hope this will be of interest and looking forward for any good reads that you guys might share.
