‘Road to Seeing’ by Dan Winters is a MUST for every photobook collection. Dan shares his journey to becoming a photographer including key moments in his career that have influenced and informed the decisions he has made and the path he has taken. Though this book appeals to a broad photography audience, it speaks primarily to the student of photography-whether enrolled in school or not-and addresses such topics as creating a visual language; the history of photography; the portfolio; street photography; personal projects; his portraiture work; and the need for perseverance, awareness, curiosity, and reverence. By relaying both personal experiences, Road to Seeing tells the reader how one photographer carved a path for himself, and in so doing, helps equip the reader to forge his own.

Sketching Light: An Illustrated Tour of the Possibilities of Flash Legendary magazine photographer Joe McNally takes us on another memorable trip into the land of light–but this time running the gamut from small flash to big flash, and everywhere in between. Loe tells readers what works and what doesn’t via his let’s-see-what-happens approach, he shows how he sets up his shots with plentiful sketches and behind-the-scenes production shots, and he does it all with the intelligence, clarity, and wisdom that can only come from shooting in the field for 30 years for the likes of National Geographic, Time, Life, and Sports Illustrated–not to mention the wit and humor of a clearly warped (if gifted) mind.
