Neither a traditional career guide nor a photography technique instruction manual, this book is intended to help students and other photographers assess their skills and interests, and to assist them in finding their own career paths in the field of photography. DeLaney (New York Institute of Photography) draws on his decades of experience as a professional photographer to introduce readers to the field. Using a friendly tone, he begins with a discussion of what it takes to be a photographer, and offers thoughtful questions for the reader to reflect on. The second section addresses equipment (this updated edition includes digital equipment), subject matter, education, and contests and grants. The final section deals with the business of photography: how to set up a business, what to charge, creating a portfolio, selling yourself, finding customers, and working with labs and service bureaus. Appendices list publications and organizations for photographers. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
