“A photographer might forget his camera and live to tell the tale. But no photographer who survives has ever forgotten the lessons in this book. It is not just essential reading, it’s compulsory.”
Daniel Meadows
Head of Photojournalism, Center for Journalism Studies
University of Wales

“I read On Being a Photographer in one sitting.
This is an invaluable book for its historical and aesthetic references as well as David’s words, which go to the heart of every committed photographer − from the heart of a great photographer. It is inspiring.”

Frank Hoy, Associate Professor, Visual Journalism
The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunication
