Review
'From an educator's perspective, this is probably the best book on photography I've come across ... this title covers everything that photography students need from production and distribution to critical analysis (and everything in between). The book's layout has been well designed and the language used is very accessible to a range of students.' Dave Caton, School of Art, Swindon College, UK. 'A relevant and inspiring book that strikes a good balance between explaining the basics and giving an inspirational look into the world of professional photography. Attractively and clearly laid out with clear graphics and good examples of professional work.' Katherine Baker, Guildford College, UK. 'Very up-to-date text/layout style which students have commented on! Set out in a very clear and easy fashion.' Richard Sainsbury, Guildford College, UK.

It is often said that a good book should challenge your ideas and cause you to question what you are reading. Well David Prakel has achieved this in The Fundamentals of Creative Photography! I found myself, in equal measure, questioning how I looked at some images whilst arguing (occasionally out loud, much to my own embarrassment) with David's words.
would I read more of Davids work, simply put, yes! If this book is anything to go by he writes extremely well, and gets his points across with a certain style. Would I recommend this book to anyone? Well that is a slightly tougher question, The book is not aimed at the average beginner picking up a book to learn the basics of photography, so no, but I would point anyone studying photography with the aim to become a pro photographer towards this book as it will certainly aid their progress. Overall a well written interesting read.
