eBook on How to do a Documentary Photography Project

Photography Tips

Have you ever thought about doing your own documentary photography project? Maybe you have or maybe you’ve never even thought of the possibility. While it’s true that documentary photography books are not widespread and well-known, this is one reason that pursuing it can be exciting and successful. It’s not yet a fully tapped genre of photography and therefore leaves a lot of room for new projects. If this concept excites you, consider checking out the new ebook Lobster Island: How We Did It. This guide to documentary photography takes you behind-the-scenes of photographer couple Lauren and Rob Lim’s own project in a step-by-step process.
