Book Review-self-portrait photography

I am reading this book called "Self Portrait Photography, The Ultimate In Self Expression" by Natalie Dybisz (isbn 978-1-907579-16-5 Ilex 2011) and it is really good. I an about a quarter of the way through it this, morning and really enjoying it. It has covered the history of portrait photography and the reasons why people did it, into kit and now into shooting. They aren't just single portraits there are multiple images of the same person composed within it and they are surprisingly more interesting than I thought they were going to be. They are very tasteful and the history of the shots is fascinating. After this chapter she goes on to talk about processing, individual self portrait artists showcases and marketing. So, a lot to read and back to it!
