Titles appearing in Art Book News Annual — February 2008

Arrangement is by title.

Creative careers in photography; making a living with or without a camera.

Heron, Michal. (Creative careers in photography)

1-58115-469-0

Heron, a freelance photographer of three decades, offers details on the diverse paths available to aspiring career photographers. Jobs considered fall under one of stock categories: publication, consumer, service, digital, stock, or fine art photography, each of which is complemented by an interview with a practitioner. Also addressed are non-camera photography careers such as buying and dealing, representing, and writing or teaching. Advice mainly comprises job and equipment descriptions — the author forgoes speculations on employment and salary outlook. The book concludes with advice on career building and self-marketing and a list of institutions teaching photography and professional organizations for photographers. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc.
