Color Management in Digital Photography: Ten Easy Steps to True Colors in Photoshop
by Rocky Nook (Paperback)
Color management is one of the essential elements, yet major stumbling blocks in digital photography. The vast majority of digital photographers really wish they didn't have to be concerned with color management, yet the basic process of moving images from capture to print becomes impractical without it. And the more sophisticated the photography workflow becomes, the more important it is to manage colors from capture to print. In this book, Brad Hinkel simplifies the language of color management. It is based on classes and workshops the author has given to hundreds of students of digital photography. His process for color management is intended to provide enough information to create a simple and effective system allowing the user to get on with photography - focus on creativity instead of technology. However, the fact that this book suggests a simple approach to color management does not mean it sacrifices quality and effectiveness. Simpler is usually better - if it works.

Cape Light: Color Photographs by Joel Meyerowitz
by Bulfinch (Paperback)
This classic volume of colour photographs of Cape Cod is back in print in an expanded edition with a new preface and photographs from Joel Meyerowitz's continuing body of work taken on Cape Cod. Originally published in 1979, the book is regarded as one of the most influential photography texts published in the latter part of the 20th century. Common scenes - tiny figures on a beach, a porch railing against a storm-darkened sky, a blue raft against a summer cottage - are transformed by the poignant light of the Cape and the photographer's subtle vision.
Naked Happy Girls
by Goliath Books (Hardcover)
The idea of a photographer asking New York women he meets randomly to pose nude for him is not exactly new -- books with similar approaches include Peter Gorman's Naked in Apartment 7, Greg Friedler's Naked New York, and at a stretch, even Richard Kern's New York Girls -- but Andrew Einhorn does the job proficiently. Einhorn is in his late 30s, and according to his biographical paragraph, he lives in Manhattan and works as a photographer, videographer, editor and comedian. The photographs are in black and white, taken in different people's appointments. The women look like they are mostly in their twenties, with a few being slightly older. Each has about 8 or 10 photographs, most about 4" x 6" in size. Einhorn manages to make his models relax and there is often a sense of fun to the pictures. (He also appears naked in the background in a few of the photographs.) Most of the women have tattoos, belly-button rings or nipple piercings. The first woman, Skye, has two ...
