I am a prof photographer for more then 25 years and have a own studio.
I learn the photography in de years "70 on the National Dutch school for Photography a 2 years study.
In the'80 a compleet it with another 4 years study at the same school. The end of the '90 en in 00, i have several studies on the digital imagin and digital manipulation.
My work consists primarily of free photography, nature (macro) and landscape for various customers, and commissioned studiowork.
Furthermore i have also done 7 years of sports photography,especially prof soccer, and try to learn people in the dutch to take better pictures and give them advice.
I would like to publish also my findings and experiences in photography, but don't know where to start, so i hope you wil be so kind to help me on this way by give me some tips how to act.
I would particularly appreciate. :smile:

Well, I have no experience with publishers - not yet, at least :cool: :biggrin: - but if you're looking for a way to self-publish a book I think Blurb would be worth a try. There are many companies on the web offering these kind of services, but Blurb looks like - imo - the one offering the widest range of book formats, layouts, papers and prices. You have to buy the first copy of course - that's where the biggest part of their income comes from - but then you can set up your mark up and start promoting and selling your book.

Good luck,
:wavey:
