The Books That IMPROVED My Photography

Books have massively improved my photography, but the kind of books that help aren't necessarily the obvious ones you're thinking about.

If you guess what the next video is about, you get 10 points 🥳

[@AndyBanner]

If points make prizes, I am guessing "Camera" or "Collaboration"

[@RickBebbington]

Wait and see I guess ☺️☺️

[@craigmaisfield3247]

Composition or Collaboration 😜

[@rhiannonlawler7313]

I’m guessing collaboration…. But I might have cheated?! 😅

[@michaelcamilleri9388]

I totally agree with you that reading books one can gain new perspective, improve focus and concentration. I’m currently reading This Essentialism by Greg Mckeown which I highly recommend. I haven’t starting reading the highly recommended book The meaning in the making.

[@RickBebbington]

I've read that one but like many others, have largely forgotten what was in it!! Might be time for a re-read!

[@thebestplayerdead956]

Is there actually a demand for photography? I’m trying to make some money

[@rhiannonlawler7313]

Off to order myself some books,
The ‘Show Your Work’ looks really interesting, thank you!

[@RickBebbington]

Saw that you’d ordered it - hope you enjoy it and get some value from it ☺️

[@boomshiddang]

I'm in the midst of "Meaning in the Making" right now and totally resonate with the "inspiring art in, inspiring art out" point! I think that's been my favorite principle from Sean's book so far!

[@RickBebbington]

There are so many I’m not sure I can pick a favourite, it’s that good 👍🏻

[@TheFlorent40]

thanks for sharing those books with us, I ll try to read some of them. During my study of art history I really enjoyed reading books but also reading arts, and with a little help from some books it changed the way I see.

[@RickBebbington]

No worries! With your background, I think you really like 'The Art of Possibility' - I think that one is my favourite

[@mrskarshsphotos]

Oh this is brilliant. I have just discovered your channel...love it.

[@RickBebbington]

Thanks and welcome 😊

[@marycarron5118]

Thank you Rick for this series. This video popped up today so I went back to the start and I'll be following the series with you. I can relate so much to your reason for doing this and I like your easy style. Looking forward to the next one and I would recommend that anyone who has enjoyed this video goes back to the first two and joins the creative journey with you. I think we will all benefit. Thanks Rick.

[@RickBebbington]

Thank you so much Mary, I can’t tell you how much stuff like this means to me. Knowing that people are getting something from what I’m doing gives me so much motivation to keep going ☺️ I really appreciate it!

[@longingbydesign]

Let me guess - by piling them up and putting your camera on top, poor man's tripod? 😂

[@RickBebbington]

That’s the one 😂

[@AndyCuthbert]

Great stuff, Rick. Look forward to the rest of the series. Awesome so far. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@RickBebbington]

Thanks Andrew, appreciate it 👍🏻

I loved that new episode too! Can’t wait for the next one already.
Thank you
