Photography books that every photographer must read

Some photography books are more technical than others and some are more simple

, some teach you what you need to know and some just keep going on and on about useless information that you don't need to know about, so in this article I have rounded up the top 5 photography books that a new photographer should read.

1. Understanding exposure by Bryan Peterson

This one really deserves all the credit it can get, it assumes you're a new photographer and explains the methods and techniques clearly for anyone to understand without being to condescending. The book contains beautiful images along with the camera settings used when the photo was taken. This was one of the first books I read when learning digital photography and I often even now have a quick read over it. If there's one book you should read then it should be this one.

2. The digital photography book 1 by Scott Kelby

There are many big photography books out there, this isn't one of them. This is a small 200 page book with plenty of images to keep anyone happy, below these images is an explanation on how to achieve the desired result along with camera settings and any techniques used.

3 & 4. The digital photography book 2, 3 by Scott Kelby

Maybe I should have included these books above, however each book explains different types of photography. Everything from studio work to flash photography is included in these books and anyone interested in learning either should take a look. Once again the book is of small size and offers a variety of images with the explanation of equipment used, settings used and any techniques used below the image. Scott Kelby has written many books but these 2 and the 1 book above are very useful to a new photographer.

5. The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 book

After you have taken your images you will more than likely want to process or edit them, this is where Adobe Lightroom comes in. Looking at the Lightroom interface will frighten new photographers, however after reading this book I was more than confident on how to use this software. This is the only Lightroom book that I have read so there could be better ones out there, however only this on I needed to read so surely that counts for something.
