I highly recommend buying these books if you are a noob in the world of photography and have no idea where to start, like me (but I suck a little less now after reading and trying out his techniques, yay!). The books are great because they provide clear and concise instructions and tips on utilizing your camera and creativity as means for producing better results/images. The books have been very helpful to me. Just keep in mind they are more how to improve my photography and not dissect my camera features kind of books.

Just get the second volume if you are fairly comfortable with using your camera but want to expand your knowledge and try out different techniques for yourself.

Don’t forget to check out his website; it’s a mountain of information. His newest guest blogger had a profoundly inspirational video to share. It had everything to do with the passion behind his work, which we can all relate to in some form or other. Very sappy stuff but well worth watching, “Guest Blog Wednesday” featuring Zack Arias.
