A must for photographers by Bob Carey, John Harrington has added so much information in its second edition, which are relevant to the business environment for photography today. The new edition will be particularly useful for photo-journalists working for the future in a changing profession must be prepared. This should be on the bookshelf of every student and photographer. As a university professor, I need this book to all my top level photo classes. It should be mandatory reading for any student who wants to be a photographer. Harrington has a valuable insight into how to successfully put into the business of photography. I own the first edition, and could not wait for this new edition. When I got the second edition, I was happy to see how much has been added Harrington. Even if you have the first issue, consider this option if you live your photographer or even thinking about it. 31 of 32 people found the following review helpful An extremely valuable book, Kent Kobersteen I just finished reading "Best Business Practices ..." and I must say from my point of view more than 40 years in the industry - as a shooter, picture editor and director of photography - the book is fantastic.

It is a good service for photographers and everyone in the industry - all the more necessary in today's photography market is extremely volatile. - Kent Kobersteen, former director of photography, National Geographic Magazine 37 of 40 people found this review helpful.
