"As a photographer you have to point your camera at things that actually exist. You therefore have a marvellous opportunity to interpret the world for yourself rather than represent the ideas and prejudices of others.” ― Paul Hill, (‘Introduction’, Approaching Photography, 2nd Edition, 2004, Photographers' Institute Press, ISBN 1 86108 323 8, p10)

I found this book to be greatly uplifting and inspiring. The author, Paul Hill, comes across as someone who cares, not only about photography, but also about you, his audience and aspiring photographer. The reach and range of the book is great, as it's topics span many aspects of photography. Along the way you learn about photography, not in terms of technicalities, but in terms of vision. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs that help the reader understand the text. It is a book that I highly recommend and to which I shall return.
