Being a student of photography most guides show us how to apply techniques and rules but this book has a section specifically on being a student.


David Hurn Magnum photographer and Bill Jay who was the first editor of Creative Camera magazine. Both photographers having a wealth of experience it Feels like a conversation between friends over coffee and highlights the highs and lows of the profession.


One of David Hurn's iconic portraits was of Jane Fonda in 1967 to promote the film Barbarella. Sadly Bill Jay passed away in 2009 but if you wish to know more about him there's an excellent documentary about his work on YouTube.
