    Looking for a photographer for music video shoot. (Newcastle)

    The OP suffers from a lack of information. There is no indication (other than a vague suggestion that it might be 'interesting', 'fun' and a chance to gawp at some belly dancers) of what remuneration is being offered. Clearly money is not on the cards but there are other things that could be...

    The Reading List

    As mentioned above Langford's books are great. Essential reading though has got to be Susan Sontag's 'On Photography'. Historical, technical, artistic and philosophical all in one.

    Hi from Scotland

    Hi everyone, Looks like a great forum you've got here :) I've been taking photos for about 12 years now, mostly for incorporation in DVD sleeves, posters, flyers and the like. As most of my work has been in video production though, I've neglected my photography skills a bit and want to...
