The best way to improve your photography skills, according to what I hear from peers, professors and veteran photographers, is to spend a good time looking at other people’s works, and see what they photographed, and try to think about where the photographer was standing when he was taking that pic, etc…
But, photography books in general tend to be obscenely pricey.. Thanx, however, to the internet there are dzillion bzillion photography and multimedia websites you can browse and learn more if you are interested… Still, every now and then it’s nice to buy a hardcopy of a book by a photographer you like… and in my case, I was thrilled to find Sebastião Salgado’s “Workers” yesterday in one of Berkeley’s bookstores at a very generous discount rate…

Workers عمال

This book is a jewel ya shabab… It’s actually my dream to put together one day a project like that about the Egyptian working class, whose visual history is rarely documented… One day inshallah…
