Blog on Photoblogs

The other day (on one of my other blogs) I wrote a really quick post about how I have really enjoyed reading “Always Be Testing”. The more that I have been thinking about the book, the more I have come to realize that photobloggers should be testing their website as well. Whether your long-term goal is to monetize your site (using either direct or in-direct methods) there are always room for improvement. I highly recommend picking up a copy of the book and start working on ways to test on your photoblog today. A while back I talked about using larger images on the hypothesis that this would encourage more page clicks, well I am in the process of setting up my first Google Website Optimizer test now, and will be publishing the results on a future date.

Michael Grecco’s book Lighting and the Dramatic portrait should be on every serious photographer’s bookshelf.

Selina Oppenheim’s book, Portfolio’s that Sell, should be on every photographers bookshelf.

Vincent Versace’s Welcome to Oz has to be one of the best photography books that I have come across in a very long time.
