 MUST READ for Potential Prof. Photographers February 24, 2003
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Without repeating the many great reviews on this page, I would say that if you are looking into breaking into the nature photography business, you have to read this book. No frills or thrills, just realistic, workable advice.
Good resource if you want to sell your pictures. February 3, 2003
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Very well structured book. Cover most of the topics one must know before start selling, example managing the files, labeling, how to write the query letters, what to send with the submission etc. Very helpful. Recommended for anyone interested in selling their work. Do not expect photography tips, this book is not for that.

Shaw gives realistic advice on the difficult work needed to make a living as a nature photographer. He conveys a sense of what magazine editors and other buyers of nature photography want in terms of quality, composition and subject through both his writing and many photographs. Practical advice on the more mundane aspects of running a photography business and the submission process is given in a clear and concise manner. Of note is his advice to start out by learning to write well so that you can submit full articles with photographs that are more likely to get published than stand-alone photos. This book is well recommended for people interested in making some money off their hobby, serious about making nature photography their career, or just curious as to how nature photographers earn a living. The only drawback to the book is that it is a few years old and some of the material, particularly on digital photography and manipulation, is a bit dated.
