THE RULE OF THIRDS (Pippa Greene #1) by Chantel Guertin

September 9, 2015

Book cover of THE RULE OF THIRDS (Pippa Greene #1) by Chantel GuertinLet’s start with the best part of The Rule of Thirds: photography is front and centre! Pippa Greene loves photography. She lives and breathes it, is in the school photography club and is gearing up to take part in a photography competition. As someone who loves photography, I’m always sad at the lack of it in the books I’ve read. A lot has been written about music and art but photography has mostly been missing. Well, here we have a good book in The Rule of Thirds.

LO-FI PHOTO FUN by Adam Bronkhorst

August 17, 2015

Book cover of LO-FI PHOTO FUN by Adam BronkhorstFirst and foremost Lo-Fi Photo Fun is about getting creative with film photography. While Brinkhorst did state in the introduction that many techniques can be applied to digital photography as well, most of these results would have to be achieved in post-processing or through digital photo manipulation.

THE NEW STREET PHOTOGRAPHER’S MANIFESTO by Tanya Nagar

August 8, 2015

Book cover of THE NEW STREET PHOTOGRAPHERS MANIFESTO by Tanya NagarStreet photography is a photography genre I’ve been wanting to try but haven’t actually dared to. My main concern has been the law — who can I photograph where with or without their permission and which of these resultant photos am I allowed to publish? I didn’t expect The New Street Photographer’s Manifesto to answer these questions specifically. Nonetheless, there is a section that dispels general legal myths of street photography in the US and the UK. Tanya Nagar cautioned that it’s best to check the law according to your location. I’ll definitely be doing that.

A BEAUTIFUL MESS PHOTO IDEA BOOK by Elsie Larson and Emma Chapman

July 15, 2015

Book Cover of A Beautiful Mess Photo Idea Book by Elsie Laeson and Emma ChapmanInitially the connection between this photo idea book and the blog, A Beautiful Mess didn’t cross my mind when I borrowed this book. Only at home when I took another look at the cover did I realize that the lovely bloggers Elsie and Emma wrote A Beautiful Mess Photo Idea Book. While I’m not such a regular reader of their blog, I adore the bright colours and photos whenever I do peruse their posts.

A BLIND SPOT FOR BOYS by Justina Chen

December 30, 2014

Book cover of A BLIND SPOT FOR BOYS by Justina ChenThis books is hands down my favourite book of 2014! I can say this with conviction to the highest degree because this is my last book review of the year. And I can already tell the two books I am currently reading will not trump A Blind Spot for Boys.
