Guide to Photography Information Resources
Find photography information resources in a snap
Whether you are looking for a job, training material, education opportunities, pointers, photography journals or more, photography information resources are abundant and easy to access. Finding free photography reference materials is great, but sometimes the investment has a larger payoff if you spend business funds on such items as photography reference materials, photography magazines or affiliation memberships.
You should take advantage of the many no cost photography resources available to help you with any spending decisions. By scanning through a particular photography information resource, you can generally narrow down what's worth spending money on.
To find the best in photography resources:
1. Start with the free photography resources.
2. Consult an online group or pay-to-join affiliation if you are stuck on a spending decision. Cameras and other equipment are costly, so you want to make sure that you are making the most practical decision for your company.
3. Invest only in the photography periodicals and equipment that you have read reviews on and asked your professional peers about.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Purchase photography magazines
Take advantage of the many photography magazines available in print and online. You can find a wealth of information from a photography magazine including equipment pricing information, tips, contests, education opportunities and more.
I recommend:
Look at the many benefits of the online version of Popular Photography and American Photo. There you can check out the buying guide, tests and reviews, the how-to section, galleries and check out the substantial savings on the bundle of both magazines in hard copy format. PCPhoto is also another great resource for camera comparisons, software, how-tos, galleries and feature articles. The even have a comprehensive digital photography learning center. Take a look at the latest columns and from Outdoor Photographer. Consider the Digital Photo Pro Studio recommendations from Digital PhotoPro.
Find photography information through national or statewide organizations and affiliations
Join a national or statewide organization to obtain additional photography information. Such groups offer wonderful networking opportunities as well as continuing education including retreats and workshops.
I recommend:
Join the Professional Photographers of America and take advantage of their membership perks including discounts, copyright and legal advocacy, education, credential programs as well as insurance. Become a member of Professional Photographers of Michigan. Check out the latest news from the Professional Photographers of New York. Take a look at the calendar of events from the Professional Photographers of Hawaii.
Find a wealth of photography resources
Find a wide variety of photography resources from online pointers to hosting sites to national contests.
I recommend:
Check out the free photography tutorials from Geoff Lawrence. Look at the large variety of tips and tutorials from Photoxels. Find digital photography tips for beginners from DPTutorial.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- From beginner to advanced, you should always take advantage of photography resources to continue to educate yourself and to stay abreast of the latest in the field.
