Photojournalism Book Recommendations??? - 06-03-2008, 09:27 AM


Ive taken a look at a lot of images here. Many of you folks have a lot of talent, particularly in the photojournalistic images I've seen!

Do you have any books or websites that you can recommend for photojournalism techniques? I have a lot to learn, but find PJ intriguing. I know a lot of what photography is, is trial and error, but if you have any books you can recommend, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

Without a doubt, my favorite:

Photojournalism: "The Professional's Approach" by Kenneth Kobre. The sixth edition was recently published. Get it about anyplace - including the Bookstore section right here at the TPF.

Its a book you will keep and dog-ear it to death.

I got an older version of that book at 1/2 price books....plus they normally have several photojournalism related books at any given time. Normally 'Best Of Photojournalism' type books. Good Stuff.
