New eBook - Photography Projects For Practice and Portfolios (400th Blog Post!)

I am pleased to announce the release of my second eBook, Photography Projects For Practice and Portfolios! It is for a photographer of any experience level and about creating and completing creative projects with photographs. It does not teach you how to create/edit the photographs themselves as many books do that, so it is not a beginner's book on shooting, in that regard. Instead, it offers education, structure and ideas for projects that you can design with existing photographs or ones that you create as a photographer of any experience level. (Certain things I share in the book I direct towards beginners, certain things towards pros, but most of the book any photographer can find purpose for.) It can be a great resource for any creative photographer who desires to do more with their photographs.

(TO PURCHASE, CLICK THE ADD TO CART BUTTON ON RIGHT SIDE OF THIS BLOG, UNDER IPAD VERSION OF THIS BOOK COVER)

Here is my eBook's cover:


The major sections of the eBook include: choosing a photography project, structuring a photography project, working on a photography project, practice and portfolios, and finally, completed photography projects.

By the numbers: 56 pages, over 80 colour photographs, 10 reading tips (books that I suggest based on certain topics mentioned within the eBook) and 12 project tips spread throughout the text of the eBook. Over 40 photography project suggestions of a variety of types are included as well.

Helpful charts at the end of the book include: a photography workflow chart (from pre-photograph creation to client/project completion), a photography project quick guide (steps from creation to completion of a project), photography project options and ideas (where the 40+ project suggestions are) and a photography education list (what I use to study and learn photography in general; similar to the one that was in my first eBook, but with a few changes and updates).

Here are a few screen shots of pages from my eBook:



You can see what the reading tips and project tips look like (the black and grey bubbles), how each section starts (with a large nature photograph...after all it is a photography eBook), how the actual sections begins with both photographs and text, how some pages are all text (after all it is an educational eBook) and how the helpful charts at the end of the book appear...the green pages.

VIEWING INFORMATION (IMPORTANT): This eBook can be viewed on an iPad, iPod Touch 4G, iPhone, and any device that has PDF reading capability. It will open in iBooks or Good Reader apps on any iDevice. If you are going to read it on a computer though, use Adobe Acrobat Reader and select View > Zoom > Actual Size. Otherwise, Adobe may open it larger than the book really is, making the photographs blurry. Any zoom between 66%-small is best. For Mac users, Acrobat Reader provides a much better PDF viewing experience than Apple Preview does.

***This eBook, Photography Projects For Practice and Portfolios is available for purchase for $12.00. Click on the right side of this blog, where the book appears as an iPad photograph.*** (Also, my first eBook is still available for purchase for $10.00, and as a purchase, no longer as a donation.)

Please contact me if there is a purchase error, download error, the file seems odd/blurry/corrupted or any other technical issue occurs. I am using a different "CART" service for this launch versus the first, so I want to make sure all is right as rain. I will try to rectify any tech issues you have within 24 hours.

I look forward to your feedback once you read it and I hope that it gets your mind going on some creative photography projects that you can use for a variety of photograph types (from practice to portfolio photographs)! Leave a comment here if you like, or if you blog about it, let me know. Thanks readers! Enjoy!

(And this is my 400th blog post so I am currently doing a dance or 2.)
