David D. Busch is a photographer and author and publisher of more than 300 books with a total of more than three million copies in print,[1] and thousands of photography- and technology-related articles for Popular Photography, Rangefinder, Professional Photographer, Computer Shopper, and other magazines.

He was the author of the popular Kitchen Table International humor column in the early computer magazine 80 Microcomputing (also known as 80 Micro)[3] from 1981 to 1983.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he turned from programming and application books to imaging technology, writing some of the first books devoted to scanners (The Complete Scanner Handbook, Dow-Jones Irwin, 1990) and digital Photography (Digital Photography, MIS Press, 1995.)

[5][6] He also reviewed digital cameras and printers for CNet Network and Computer Shopper Magazine.

Many of Busch's books, such as Digital SLR Pro Secrets and Digital Infrared Pro Secrets highlight often-quirky do-it-yourself projects, including equipment testing devices, camera hacks and conversions, filters, lighting equipment, and other gadgets.
