Hi ,

• Making The Image

• How To Become A Pro Photographer

 

 

I’m putting my eBooks on sale for the entire month of July. If you’ve been thinking about picking up a copy of any of my books, now is the perfect time. Buy one or all three of my books this month and use discount code JULY25 in your shopping cart and save 25%. I realize that with it being summer and all, you’re probably reading fewer photography books and more adventure fiction, mysteries and other beach-type brain candy, but you can always pick up one of my books and save it for later. Believe me, I understand this; I’ve got a growing queue of reading material on my iPad that I’m slowly working through.

 

 

Some photographers have figured out the whole social media thing and have dived right in, while others are still standing on the edge of the pool tentatively dipping in one toe at a time. If you’re eager to start jumping into the social media fray and make it start working for your own photography, but aren’t quite sure how to start, download the ASMP Free Guide to Social Media Marketing. Also, consider joining the ASMP group on LinkedIn, and read or take part in engaging discussions about the photo industry and about business side of image making. 

 

 

If you haven’t had a chance to grab the free eBook from Craft and Vision, stop what you’re doing and download it now. A compilation of articles by a number of their top authors, 11 Ways to Improve Your Photography features eleven great chapters, each of which explores a different method for exploring and improving your photography.

 

Included essays feature the brilliant focused vision of David du Chemin, the technical off-camera lighting know-how of Piet Van Den Eynde, the landscape mastery of Michael Frye, the mountain adventure imagery of Alexandre Buisse and all the other great, creative photographers who write for them, like Andrew Gibson, Nicole S. Young, and Stuart Sipahigil, these guys not only know their stuff, the throw it out there with authoritative expertise and inspiration. And they do it with great looking and engaging layouts that really draw you in.

How about some light summer reading? Have a look at my list of sentences and phrases that are HIGHLY unlikely to ever come out of a photographer’s mouth. I put this list together a few months ago. If you missed it, then enjoy. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what photography related phrases you’ve never uttered.

 

 

Photocrati, the humanitarian photography organization who makes the Wordpress theme that I use on my website, also publishes regular articles about SEO and website optimization. Check out 3 tips for Growing Your Blog Readership and then peruse the rest of their blog to see more worthwhile photography content. Also, I included Photocrati in my blog post this week about great Wordpress Themes for Photographers. 

 

Until next time, enjoy the recent posts and I hope that you’re have a great summer!

 

Best,

 

Dan
