Photo Books: Top Ten

Here at The Photography Foundation we love photo books! Nothing beats handling something in print. Photo books are a treat; like a framed photograph on the wall, they are something to be treasured for a long time. I’ll be introducing ten photo books which present different styles of photography and hopefully offer something for everyone.

Listen & Learn 

A key skill for any photographer to develop is the ability to listen and learn, and this post is all about the importance of taking the time to listen to yourself and to others. Visual people can be easily overloaded with images in this digital world, but listening to stories can give our minds a rest while keeping us inspired! Here are some interesting podcasts which will hopefully help you do just that.
