John Harrington has added so much information in his second edition that is relevant to the business climate of photography today. The new edition will be especially helpful to photojournalists who need to be prepared for the future in a changing profession. This needs to be on the bookshelf of every student and photographer.
As a college professor, I require this book for all my upper level photo classes. It should be required reading for every student who wants to be a photographer. Harrington has provided a valuable insight at how to be successful in the business of photography.
I own the first edition, and couldn’t wait for this new edition. When I got the second edition, I was pleased to see how much Harrington has added. Even if you own the first edition, you’ll want this if you are making your living as a photographer or are even thinking about it.

I just finished reading “Best Business Practices…” and I must say, from my perspective of 40-plus years in the business — as shooter, picture editor and director of photography — the book is fantastic. I’ve recommended it to several colleagues, and suggested to a friend who teaches at Brooks Institute that it be required reading for every one of his students. I’ll certainly also recommend the book to students at workshops I teach. Harrington deserves thanks for putting such balanced and varied wisdom on paper. It’s a great service to photographers and everyone in the business — all the more necessary in today’s extremely volatile photography market. — Kent Kobersteen, former Director of Photography, National Geographic Magazine

John Harrington’s revised edition of his Best Business Practices for Photographers goes beyond a few timely updates. Using his own business experiences John has adjusted his business practices to the changing photography industry. Addressing topics such as “Pricing your work to stay in business”, the first hand – “Insights into am IRS audit”, and the timely “transitioning to Freelance”, for the newspaper staffers entering the self-employed business world. This book delivers the business information many of us have learned at the “school of hard knocks” and most photo schools don’t even offer, but with this book readers can learn how to build a successful career.”

“Best Business Practices for Photographers” by John Harrington is not exactly a catchy title, but if you are starting as a professional shooter, or have been in the biz like me for over four decades, you better put down your camera and buy this book. I predict it will make your business better and more productive. When it does, drop me a line at: [...] and give me one example of how it changed your life.
