Garry Black Photography

Question:

I'm writing you in hopes that you can give me a list of books that may interest my 12 year old son in photography. You know the old standard question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Well, he has consistently said he wants to be a photographer. He want to take pictures for the National Geographic, Wild Life, etc. What reading material can he read for the summer?

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Answer:

The two best books that I can think of are both by Bryan Peterson, the first one is "Understanding Exposure" and the second one is "Learning to see Creatively". With these two books he covers most of the basic groundwork for becoming a photographer. I think your son would get a lot out of them.
