Times are tough. Unemployment is still high. And the holiday season is fast approaching. So I looked around at what I could do to make the season better for someone and came up with an idea. I am going to give away a giant stack of photography and technology books to one lucky winner. Now, the books cover a wide range of topics and experience levels so if you win them, consider passing along the ones you don’t need or want to someone else who could use them.
So what are the books? Well, here is a list along with the Amazon page for each so that if you want to buy one, you can.
- All Access: Your Backstage Pass to Concert Photography. Alan Hess Amazon Link
- Nikon D3200 Digital Field Guide. Alan Hess Amazon Link
- The new iPad Fully Loaded. Alan Hess Amazon Link
- Composition Digital Field Guide. Alan Hess Amazon Link
- Digital Wedding Photographers Planner. Kenny Kim Amazon Link
- Digital Wedding Photography Photo Workshop. Kenny Kim Amazon Link
- Night and Low-Light Photography Photo Workshop. Alan Hess Amazon Link
- Digital Photography Lighting for Dummies. Dirk Fletcher Amazon Link
- Photo Inspiration, Secrets Behind Stunning Images 1x.com Amazon Link
and more to come…..
So how do you win this big stack of books.
I will be drawing a single winner and there is just one way to enter.

That’s it, just leave me a comment here and I will be picking the winner from the comments left here..
I wish all people would be like you
Would love to win! Love your work Alan!
Great giveaway….and whoever wins…if you can’t actually use all of the books…pass them on to someone who can…that way it’s a double giveaway! 🙂
I meant pass on the ones you won’t/can’t use (ie…you’re a canon shooter and wouldn’t use a Nikon book)
This is really a nice thing you doing. Just wanted to say that. All the books are great and I don’t necessarily need to win them but just wanted to let you know how cool this is. I always try to give my old books away to people that might really want them; and I didn’t even write them. LOL
this would be a great gift!!!
Nice!
That’s a great idea!!
The gift of Books, what amazing thoughtfulness. I would be honored and blessed to be a recipient of your kindness. It would be such a great help in my learning experience. Thank you for your kind consideration.
I would be incredibly thankful if you chose me! This would improve all of my skills and expand everything and give me insight to everything I wish to know to get my career going. These books would be put to great use and very much appreciated!

Way to go! Paying it forward…
Awesome collection!
Alan
I am always in awe and inspired by your work. My husband has a natural gift and eye for photography yet does not nurture it as much as I know he would like. I believe that your gift of these books would respark his passion for the lens again. With his daily work grind- he’s. forgotten that hobby and his natural talent for photography. I know this would be a wonderful gift for him to rediscover his hidden talent. Thankyou for your generous offer and for the opportunity.
Good wishes

Wonderful gesture. Thanks Alan.
Very cool of you! Happy holidays!
Alan,
Great idea in these tough times. The only vice I still have is reading. Thankfully my wife allows me to partake in it. I’m a fan of your work, and I would appreciate any criticism you may have on mine. I’m always trying to improve my craft. I want my son to be proud of what I put out and hope that my legacy of Images last long after I’m gone. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Cheers!

Fantastic idea!!! Fingers crossed…
Just wanted to thank Alan Hess, I believe the best gift is knowledge, and reading is a great way of learning. I hope the best of luck to all, and my fingers crossed that maybe with a little luck that i win so maybe I can return this gift of knowledge in the future with other photographers.
You are a kind man, Alan. 🙂 Thank you
It is appreciated that you are doing this. Happy holidays.
Thanks for doing this, Alan!
Alan,
Just purchased Night and Low Light Photography. Exactly what I was looking for in shooting my daughter’s competition cheer events! Would love to get a hold of your other books.
I’ll take all the help I can get. Never know too much.
Hey, I just found this and it looks great! Good luck everybody!
Appreciate your generosity! T would so love to win! I would definitely put the books to good use. I’m always striving to improve my photo skills.
Thanks Alan!
Blessings to you and your family.
Robert
Great idea, Alan. Happy holidays!
1000 THANKS for your pictures and reports! I wonder how I came in kontact with you! My friend Anette Esjing – and we don’t talk very often – has linket your side to me just in this time. I’am hobby-life-photografer since ½ year and I love it! I take pictures since 29 years, but it took me since this year, before I got the chance, to take pictures during my 1. koncert. It is magic! I’ve taken a look at your pictures and I’am thinking, this could also be one of my pictures – amazing!!! The way, you see people, theirs faces, theirs passion musik. THANK YOU!!! I hope, you enjoy one day my pictures på Facebook. Sincerely yours Sabine Brand (German, live i Danmark)
I bought Nikon D3200 some months ago but
could not use it for lack of the information on its technicalities…and just after I read your book on D3200 I could begin to take pictures with good
understanding about “how” and “why”….
Many thanks ! I have been reading it and trying it apply the directives…..
