The Essential Student Guide to Professional Photography by Grant Scott is an indispensable reference for photography students looking to integrate into the professional community. By defining professional photography today and exploring what is expected of professional photographers, the book demystifies this often-misunderstood and misjudged career track.

The easily accessible text provides readers with valuable information, inspiration, and education on various topics. These include developing your photographic voice, finding your area of specialisation, exploring the moving image, building a website, and understanding self-presentation, promotion, legal aspects, and marketing.

Additionally, the book features inspirational projects designed for students as they embark on their education in photography.
