Photography for Writers

It's possible to buy photographs to illustrate articles you write for publication, but why not learn to take them yourself? Publishers pay premium prices for work that's well illustrated, so it's well worth the trouble and even the expense of buying the equipment. Abrams's book is devoted to the kinds of problems writers face and it begins with the basics. Equipment, packaging and labeling photos for mailing, filing and organizing negatives are just some of the subjects covered here.I was a little disappointed not to find more information on how to plan shots, how to photograph to emphasize points, etc. This book is more about the technical aspects and organization than it is about actually photographing.
