Customer Reviews

Harry Benson is a knowledgeable photographer, & not arrogant

I checked this book out at the library and now have to have a copy of my own! Benson is an excellent photojournalist who does a superb job at transferring years of experience into an accessible book.In each section of this well-written book, Benson presents a useful mix of his own photography with personal ancedotes and specific lists of how-to's. The photos are useful for showing some of the great moments that can be caught on film, as well as for giving the newer photographer something to aspire towards. Mixed in with the photo sections are pages of up-front writing about how Benson acheived what you are looking at. He is honest and doesn't use this section to make himself appear better than any other photographer. Finally, he includes how- to sections on each topic: rules of the game, the assignment, equipment, mobility, photographing people, competing under pressure, essays and sequences, developing a style, and from street to studio.I highly recommend this book to any photographer. Even if you are not specifically interested in photojournalism, Benson's hints will be helpful to you in your day-to-day work with any photography including people.
