Here is a hand-picked list of ebooks written by other talented photographers that I wanted to share with you.
By spreading the word about their work here, I hope that, if you’re looking for more information related to any of the topics covered by these ebooks, you’ll find the information as valuable as I did.
I’ve written a little intro to each photographer’s ebook below, but have also provided links to their websites if you’re interested in learning more or wish to buy.
Enjoy! :)
The Photographer’s Workflow
A Practical Guide to Digital Post Production Using Lightroom
$30
What it is:
- 130-page ebook
- Teaches you how to establish a reliable, consistent & intuitive workflow
- Helps you understand how to make better use of all of Lightroom’s features (before reading this, I never could figure out how best to use the Colors, Star Ratings and Pick/Reject Flags. With Gavin’s system, though, I’m *so* much more organized. I can leave a gallery unfinished and know exactly where I left off because of what I learned.)
- And, as they say, there is much much more! (no, really – there *is* much much more :)
Who it’s Best for:
- Beginners looking to get started the right way & be organized from the very beginning.
- Intermediate shooters interested in diving a bit deeper into workflow best practices.
- Professionals wanting to find ways to improve their current workflow & learn how to better utilize Lightroom.
And also anyone looking to maximize their time shooting –> which means less computer time – yay!
