The following is a list of books on different aspects of photography that I believe are very good to excellent . They are ranked in my order of merit, the top of each list being the best in that category. These books are for intermediate to advanced photographers.
When I first started teaching my travel photography workshop & prepared the book there was a singular lack of books devoted to Travel Photography. In the past year two excellent new books have been released.
