Description: DON’T SHOOT 66 Reasons NOT to Become a Professional Photographer New, shrink wrapped, hardcover book. 6x6 inches, Image-wrap hardcover with glossy lamination. No photos, 160 pages.ISBN # 978-0-9823707-4-2 This book is a humorous and snarky book about the commercial photography business written by a 30-year veteran of the advertising and editorial photo business. The book is chock full of insigntful quotes by famous photographers, and stories about the process of establishing a business in an era when everyone has a camera in their pocket. Written for both veteran photographers and those thinking about venturing into the business of picture-making. DON’T SHOOT is a brutal (and funny) book about all the twiddly bits that go into succeeding as a professional photographer. The book covers relationships, ethics, gear, contracts, branding, copyrights, working for free, perseverance, portfolios, style, critiques and what to expect from galleries, schools, spouses, clients, assistants, workshops and more! But don’t call yet, it’s all served up in a crunchy shell of self-deprecating sarcasm – Wheee! S. Dirk Schafer, put on a successful Kickstarter campaign to write and print his experiences, pitfalls, revelations and bone-head moves in this little hardcover book. You’ve never heard of him because he’s one of thousands of professional photographers in the world that wake up every day to take the pictures you see in books and magazines. This book is the down-to-earth reality of how tough (and rewarding) a life as a photographer can be. Originally funded through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, with a retail list price of $18.99, this tiny book has become a favorite for gift giving and stocking stuffing and reading by the toilet.
