David and Craft & Vision have recently brought out some great new offerings that I want to recommend.

FREE! Craft & Vision 2: More Great Ways to Make Stronger Photographs.

Craft & Vision 2: More Great Ways to Make Stronger Photographs . Edited and with an Introduction by David duChemin. This e-book is a follow-up to Craft & Vision 1, and includes nine essays by leading Craft & Vision photographers with instruction and tips on myriad topics that will make anyone a better photographer. Craft & Vision 2 is FREE.

Craft-and-Vision-16Craft-and-Vision-19Just a few examples: Martin Bailey writes on how (and when) to shoot in manual mode. Sean McCormack writes about balancing flash with ambient light. David duChemin writes about shooting for black and white. David Delnea talks about how to develop a consistent personal style. If you use Lightroom (even if you don’t, maybe!), you’ll find Piet Van den Eynde’s “Shoot More Develop Less: Confessions of a Digital Photographer” most interesting and helpful. And other terrific Craft-and-Vision-18articles, all prodigiously illustrated with fantastic and stimulating photography and illustrations. This is essential knowledge for all photographers, presented in an informative, entertaining and enjoyable manner, by some of the best professional photographers in the business.

Craft & Vision 2: More Great Ways to Make Stronger Photographs is totally free, an e-book you can download in PDF format. 49 pages. Click here to view more details.

Photograph: A Quarterly Magazine for Creative Photographers. Issue 3.

Craft-and-Vision-12Craft & Vision started publishing a quarterly magazine, Photograph, last year, and they have just released Issue 3. Among the highlights of Issue 3 are featured portfolios. Issue 3 includes the black and white work of Hengki Koentjoro; Dave Delnea’s photography from Tunisia; and the food photography of Kevin Clark. Each portfolio is accompanied by an insightful interview with the photography. Other articles in Issue 3 include a discussion of creative composition, using reflectors, how and why to use the histogram, gear reviews, and David duChemin’s featured article on shooting in Kenya. Highly recommended. Formatted for the iPad. This is one of the best iPad photo magazines I’ve seen – At the same time entertaining and really useful. 113 pages. Subscribe and get 4 issues for the price of 3, just $24.

Craft-and-Vision-13

I think the Craft & Vision publications are just perfect – Not too long, but really substantial and packed with information – concrete advice, helpful tips and suggestions. Cleanly presented, readable, with great photography, and no advertising (other than for other Craft & Vision titles, and even that is very discrete.) Expert photographers I can learn from.

Craft-and-Vision-14

I like David duChemin’s philosophy which permeates the Craft & Vision series: Craft-and-Vision-11How to cultivate the craft of photography, and how to develop a personal vision and have it show up in the photographs one takes. Gear is good but gear isn’t everything. Even the fanciest and most expensive cameras won’t help us make interesting, stimulating, photographs without our trying to realize and express a vision. More than anything else, photography is about how we see and our passion for creating images that express what we see. David duChemin’s Craft & Vision helps you do that.

The Craft & Vision library has over 45 titles, all of them downloadable PDFs, and most no more than $5 each. Be sure to check out the money-saving Buy Now bundles available from Craft & Vision.
