Books to give photographers
Don’t risk buying a photographer some gear for Christmas unless you are 100% sure what they want. Books are always a great idea.
Emma’s books
Emma has now written six photography books and there is something for every type of photographer:
For the complete beginner photographer
The original A Year With My Camera (AYWMC) course (now in two workbooks available on Amazon) was written for:
the complete beginner
the person who has just been given a new DSLR and doesn’t know where to start
the photographer who hates reading the manual
the person who has tried and tried to understand the settings and has given up
Published in 2016, AYWMC has been featured in Amateur Photographer magazine and has over 1,000 reviews on Amazon.
For anyone who has done AYWMC
Brand new and just waiting for Amazon to work through their approvals process: A Second Year With My Camera launches on Friday (10 December).
For fledgling landscape photographers

For the photographer who has everything…
… and particularly for those that are stuck in a rut. Emma has a master’s degree in Psychology and condensed all her knowledge of creativity, motivation and mindset into this do-at-home creativity course just for photographers:
