University course books recommendation

[lakitod]

I am full time software developer, but in free time I am hobby photographer. My

ambitions is to stay in my profession, but I want to improve my photographic

skills, to make more aesthetic and better photos from the arts point of view. I

can say, I know the basic and some advance techniques, but what I am missing is

my insufficient knowledge about arts and photography as a art. I also have not

time to take some formal education, but what I am searching is to find the books

or any kind of materials that covered the university curricula about photography

to learn by myself.

 

I found some books on Amazon but they are mainly more technical oriented or

photographers portfolios.

 

Can somebody recommend me some books or other materials that covered the topics

that I require.

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

The Photographers Eye and I think that is written by Michael Freeman

Lazar, you may want to read some books about composition. Not photography composition, but general artistic composition. You can continue to improve your technical skills, but visit museumss and look at what centuries of artists have created.
