  • “Dogtography: A Knock-Your-Socks-Off Guide to Capturing the Best Dog Photos on Earth” by Kaylee Greer
  • “The Headshot: The Secrets to Creating Amazing Headshot Portraits” by Peter Hurley
  • “The Natural Light Portrait Book: The Step-by-step Techniques You Need to Capture Amazing Photographs Like the Pros” by Scott Kelby
