World class results are possible with Hasselblad
cameras, witnessed by so many front cov-
ers, international advertising campaigns, fa-
mous portraits, historical events, etc. But it is
the combination of this fine equipment and
the abilities of the photographer that produce
memorable images. Some of this skill is just
sound photographic practice and sometimes
it is product specific. The following books are
recommended for those that wish to immerse
themselves in the world of Hasselblad. The in-
formation in them varies from general interest
to completely invaluable.
