As the title really. Can anyone recommend some good books that would really help out a complete beginner? I'd like to learn more but I feel a bit overwhelmed with everything at the moment and think having a decent book to explain things will make it easier for me to take it all in.
Essential photography books for the complete beginner?

"Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson gets a lot of deserved recommendations. I found it great for explaining some of the core principles.
Thanks. I'll get that when I put my next order in. It certainly sounds like the kind of book I am after.
I still want to hear about any others though
. You can never have too many books .

Just bear in mind that I still consider myself a novice as well, so more seasoned photographers might have a different opinion of it!Thanks. I'll get that when I put my next order in. It certainly sounds like the kind of book I am after.

I bought Understanding Exposure way back in the day, and it was a really useful start. If I was beginning again though I’d be straight onto YouTube instead.
