As my regular followers here know I often write reviews of ebooks released through the good folks at Craft & Vision. I just love ebooks! I know that is obvious. But there is something wonderful about paying $4 or $5 for a 40 to 60 to-occasionally-80 page manuscript of luscious photography writing. The advent of tablet devices like the iPad have made ebooks an economical means of distributing and consuming content, and these ebooks look wonderful!
So I was both humbled and excited when one of my favorite Craft & Vision authors contacted me and asked me to review his latest ebook: Square: the digital photographer’s guide to the square format. If you remember, Andrew is the author of the ebook on composition that was released last week as well as two of my favorite titles “The Magic of Black and White, Volumes 1 & 2”. Andrew has decided to release this ebook through his website.
Square explores the history of the square format, its challenges for digital photographers whose cameras photograph strictly in 35mm 3×2 format, and the possibilities this format encourages in composition. In addition, Andrew packs this ebook with beautiful new images all formatted square, two case studies with wonderful square format film photographers, and several tutorials for altering digital files into attractive square format photographs.
And to celebrated the launch of his book, Andrew is having a special sale for the first 7 days. Normally $5US, you can get the book for $4US by using the coupon code square20 at checkout.
