For readers who want more than the book.

The Author’s Edition of Lessons From a Terrible Photographer is a signed and numbered copy, paired with a small set of physical artifacts meant to be used, not collected.

This edition is for readers who see this book as something to work through, not just read once and shelve.

Each Author’s Edition includes:

  • A signed and numbered copy of the book

  • Photo print cards printed on premium paper

  • Postcards you can keep, write on, or send

  • Small, intentional extras that extend the ideas beyond the page

Nothing here is ornamental. Everything is meant to be touched, written on, and lived with.

This edition exists because this book isn’t just a story. It’s a conversation.
The Author’s Edition is for people who want to stay in that conversation a little longer.

Quantities are limited. When this run is gone, it’s gone.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This book will ship after the preorder run is printed. You’ll receive updates as we approach printing and shipping.

Patrick Fore is a commercial photographer, writer, and lifelong creative trying to make honest work in a world that prefers shortcuts. He hosts The Terrible Photographer Podcast, where he talks about identity, failure, voice, and the strange process of keeping your creative life alive.

Meet the Author

Most photography books are written by masters showing off their trophies. They tell you to do what they do.

I am not a guru. I am the guy who failed at this so you don't have to.

I spent years obsessing over gear, comparing myself to others, and feeling like a fraud. I realized that "getting good" had nothing to do with the lens I was using and everything to do with how I saw the world.

This book contains 0% of my portfolio and 100% of my scars. It’s the book I wish I had for a long time.

Thank you for reading,
– Patrick
