Here are some more specialist titles with links to amazon.com. What I like about the amazon service (as well as the discounts!) is that before you order any book, you can read other people's opinions about it. |

| God Is At Eye Level: Photography as a Healing Art Jan Phillips' highly personal and very unusual exploration of how "photography is as much about seeing inside ourselves as it is about looking out at the world"- although it's not really for those who're looking for a conventional reference book.

I'm often asked for advice about becoming a professional photographer. For information about the USA, try Opportunities in Photography Careers by Seichi Konzo and others. If you're thinking about going freelance in the USA, there's the highly praised and very well illustrated Photos That Sell by Lee Frost, that offers advice not only about markets but on how to take the sort of photos that really sell. UK readers can also look for the original British version of Photos That Sell by Lee Frost (this link will take you to Amazon.co.uk.).
