Photography for Writers: Using Photography to Increase Your Writing Income
Editorial Reviews From Independent Publisher If writers are indeed interested in becoming knowledgeable about photography in order to make their product more salable by supplying photographs with their written copy, this book is just liable to cure them of this desire. Author and photographer Michael Havelin really pours on the material as if he were writing for someone who might want to be a professional photographer. Havelin apparently expects writers to make major commitments to the art of photography to the point of setting up darkrooms not only in the home but in the trunks of automobiles. It almost sounds as though Havelin, who writes with a breezy style, forgot who he was writing for and tried to lay out information for photojournalists and news cameramen. The book is also organized in a way that is confusing as he continually uses vocabulary in the early part of the book that is not explained until much later-and sometimes never. Amazingly enough, considering the subject of this book, there are precious few photographs in the book and those that are included give little help in understanding the content. Even in the section on composition, which cries for photographic examples, none are to be found. It is obvious that Havelin dearly loves the subject of photography so much that he gets lost in it. A strong editor might have helped him get better organized and cut down on the redundancy and helped him focus more on the needs of those people he was trying to reach-the writers. Book Description Reading this exceptionally clever, completely fresh approach to selling words through pictures could be the turning point in many writers' careers. By creating packages that combine text and pertinent pictures, writers can find new markets for their work. Everything a writer needs to know to develop competency at photography is explained, including composing shots that are just what editors want. Publishing on the World Wide Web is also covered, as are the legalities involved in photo publication. Photography for Writers: Using Photography to Increase Your Writing Income
