Photography eBooks written by world known photographer David DuChemin
A few weeks back I came across a set of eBooks written by David DuChemin. I’m not normally one to purchase eBooks, however considering each cost as little as a cup of coffee, I thought I’d give them a read.
All I can say is Wow! I was blown away by the quality of the information found in these books that I’m certain readers of SLR Photography Guide would also find useful. Here is a quick run down of each.
1. TEN (10 Ways To Improve Your Craft. None of Them Involve Buying Gear)
This is the first book of the series and still his most popular.
TEN is an exploration of ten techniques and ideas that can improve any photographer’s work. It gives you 10 solid steps to take on your photographic journey, each with accompanying creative exercises, and none of them asking you to buy new gear.
I’ve also found they are perfect for transferring to an iPhone or iPad as well for reading while on the go.
TEN is a 32 page downloadable PDF eBook priced at only $5.00 USD.
Anyone who’s ever read a photography book by David DuChemin will understand how insanely cheap that is from a photographer of his level.
2. TEN MORE (10 More Ways To Improve Your Craft. None of Them Involve Buying Gear)
This eBook is a followup to the first one, making a great addition to the collection.
TEN MORE is the follow-up to TEN and picks up where TEN left off. The question it addresses is still the same – how can I improve my photography without spending a pile of cash on big lenses and the latest must-have widget?
These eBooks are also a great photography resource you’ll find you’ll read over time and time again. That’s why I keep a copy on my iPhone!
TEN MORE is a 34 page downloadable PDF eBook priced at only USD $5.00
3. DRAWING THE EYE (CREATING STRONGER IMAGES THROUGH VISUAL MASS)
Drawing The Eye is about understanding and using the ways in which the eye reads a photograph in order to create more powerful images, and it’ll change the way you look at your craft. Broken into 4 parts, it looks at this concept of visual mass, in concept, in camera, in post-processing, and then through creative exercises.
DRAWING THE EYE is a 32 page downloadable PDF eBook also priced at only USD $5.00
4. CHASING THE LOOK (10 WAYS TO IMPROVE THE AESTHETICS OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS)
CHASING THE LOOK is about making intentional choices about the use of our gear and the settings on our cameras based on their aesthetic effect. It begins to answer the question we all ask at some point while looking at the images of others – “How come my photographs don’t look like that?”
CHASING THE LOOK is a 48 page downloadable PDF eBook priced at only USD $5.00
These are only four of several eBooks available for download. I know personally I’ll be purchasing the whole set. For only $5 each they’re a great opportunity to get inside the mind of one of the world’s most respected photographers.

Purchased all 4 and will begin reading tonight. Thanks for the heads up.
I hear David is in the process of writing another as well full of beautiful images from his trip to Venice. The photographs will be accompanied by a discussion of why and how the images were created. I’ll be reviewing it on the 10th of June. In the meantime, let me know your thoughts on the first 4.
