 A little light.. May 10, 2005

A little dissapointed in this title. Photo's are of average quality and the information provided is no where near as good as other titles on this subject. When you see photography like this its hard to get inspired about the text provided also.
Great photos used to illustrate good advice March 11, 2005

I found this book very informative. I don't really think its negative on digital in fact he writes with a pretty even hand on film and digital. My favorite part is the that not only does he show some photos that have sold at stock agencies, he goes onto to explain why they sold, and to compare to them to a similiar photo and explain why one sold and the other was rejected. It offers a lot of insight into the mind of stock photo buyers as well as some inside tips on getting in on the business.

Mr. Zuckerman gets right to the point and doesn't waste the readers time. All the important points are covered, as well as small details that other authors fail to mention and that the reader may not have even considered.
I appreciate the honesty of Mr. Zuckerman, who just tells it like it is, the good side of the business and the bad. If you seriously want to get into the photography business, you'll find this book a valuable resource.
Good overview: what you need to go pro May 17, 2004

Jim Zuckerman's book provides a great coverage of all the steps involved with becoming a professional photographer. You'll learn what gear you need, potential markets and needs, presentation, etc. The book gives you a lot of ideas on how to get started as a pro. However, the book does have two drawbacks that prevent me from giving it 5 stars.- It's very negative on digital, which I find suprising given the book's publication date. The reasons given for why film is better than digital are silly, in my opinion; stories include pictures mysteriously disappearing from cards and cards being corrupt. My advice: buy good gear and practice with it before you shoot it for real. I've used a DSLR for 6 months. I spent the money to buy a good camera body and a professional card, and it has worked well for me in conditions ranging from 80F to -20F, from high to low moisture. Digital is no different than film: practice, make sure everything works, learn your gear's limits... then use it. - The book doesn't explain the photographs. One of the things I like in other photography books (including others by Jim Zuckerman) is that pictures have captions telling you the camera body, the lens, the film, the exposure length, the f stop, and so on. Sadly, this book doesn't share that information.
A great resource January 29, 2004

This book is a great resource for those people who are interested in selling their own photos. It is well written and researched by a professional photographer who writes from his own personal experience. The advice he gives is straight-forward and honest, and he even will share a few "don'ts". I recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of turning professional themselves.
