New eBook from Craft & Vision: A Deeper Frame

Jun 282011

By now you may well be aware that we really enjoy the Craft & Vision range of eBooks. At $5.00 (that roughly R35.00 at current rate of exchange) you could skip buying one fast food lunch meal – opting to take lunch instead – and spend that money on a read that will help improve your photography in your lunch break instead. Today the new book “A Deeper Frame” by David duChemin has been released. There is also a great deal running with its launch where if you buy a collection of Craft & Vision books before the end of 2 July 2011, you can get between 20-34% off. Check out the full release after the break for more. Plus the new book is being reviewed by Armani as well, that’s coming soon.

Book Review: VisionMongers by David duChemin

Mar 022011

It is my personal belief that almost every photographer out there faces the decision at some point or another, of whether they should charge for their photographs turning a passion into their trade. If you have or are in the processes of making that choice, or if you already are working as a professional photographer, then VisionMongers is the perfect book for you.

David duChemin is an accomplished photographer and author. When I reviewed his book “Within the Frame” I found myslef itching to go out and shoot within the first few pages and so with great enthusiasm I began VisionMongers. Truth be told… this book review is several months overdue. I wanted to consume the pages to their utmost depths before writing the review but life gets busy and it has taken me some time to get to the point where I can type this. I must apologize for that.

If you don’t know it already I am a big fan of David duChemin, hey we even punt his books and the Craft & Vision publishing that is his brain child. As one who has spent a great deal of time in sales and marketing in the photographic industry I cannot stand the ego that tends to follow brand bashing in photography. Do yourself a favour and read the post at the link below on David’s switch from Canon to Nikon and get the wisdom and sense he writes if you are stuck thinking you have the wrong brand or camera to improve your photography.

Many of you will have read our review of David duChemin’s book ‘Withing the Frame’ in our May 2010 issue of PhotoComment Magazine. It is to date the most inspirational book I have read if you need a kick start motivator to pick up you camera and shoot.

Now David has launched an online publishing site called Craft & Vision where you can purchase a range of ebooks for only $5.00 US. The tagline of the site is “Spend $5. Improve your craft. (buy less gear)” If you would like to be inspired then head over to the site and pick up one of the many books on offer from various authors.

We will be reviewing some of the books in the coming weeks and months, so keep an eye out for the reviews. Click here to visit Craft And Vision.

The Manfrotto School of Excellence is possibly one of the most exciting websites I have come across in recent weeks. Filled with informative articles and tutorials from some of the best in the business, perhaps the best way to explain what it is all about is to share with you a brief intro from the ‘About Us’ page.

“The skills of the world’s best photographers and video operators are brought together by Manfrotto in an innovative on-line school.

Featuring: Bill Frakes, Roberto Bigano, Ami Elsius, Drew Gardner, Joe McNally, Marc de Tollenaere, Kristoff Ramon, David Duchemin, Jim Oltersdorf and Cliff Guy.

The Manfrotto School of Excellence promises to be a quality resource covering all aspects of modern photography and videography. It will focus on the most interesting topics and latest features in the sector: video and photographic equipment, techniques, the use of light, and post-production processing.”
