The
Secrets of Better PR and Editorial Photography
is written by Steve Nichols of InfoTech Communications,
who has been taking photographs professionally for more
than 25 years.
His
editorial and PR photographic work has appeared in
countless magazines and has taken him as far afield as
Florida to cover Space Shuttle launches, Seattle to
cover the design of a new Boeing supersonic airliner and
to Singapore, Dubai and Abu Dhabi to photograph top
airline executives.
He
has also run in-house digital photography courses for a
wide range of companies including Standard Life,
Novartis, Astra Zeneca,
Diageo, Halifax Building
Society, Herts County Council,
Aviva and many others.
It
was these photographic training courses and photography
seminars that inspired the book. Delegates normally pay
more than $700/£450 per day to come on
one of Steve's courses, but the core content has been
distilled down into one downloadable resource manual,
available to buy
right now for just £8.99/about $9,99 (print) or buy
it in digital Epub form for iPad (£2.99/about $3.49).

"Photography
is changing. Professionals are still vital for
those really great images - but today’s
communicators increasingly have to take their
own. I've handled some awful amateur pictures
while editing at a major UK corporation. But
there can be no more excuses. Armed with this
timely, user-friendly tome, the enthusiastic
amateur can produce perfectly publishable
photography."
