This review is from: Freelance Photographer's Handbook (Paperback)

When I first ordered this book I was pretty excited about the idea of starting my own freelance photography business. This book has reenforced this feeling and has motivated me to move forward. Overall, the content and the flow of the information from chapter to chapter is very well presented, and written for the ease of reading and understanding.

My one disappointment is one that I might have avoided if I would have realized that the book was written in 1999, and that 1999 was predigital. I believe that there is a great opportunity for the authors to update the content by introducing the DSLR into areas and subjects where medium - large format cameras were once dominent, i.e. bring it up to date. Something to think about. Having said this, I am still very positive of what I've read and recommend this book for others considering Freelance Photography as a career.
