“A really inspiring book” – Amateur Photographer magazine

The eagerly awaited follow up to global bestseller The Photographer’s Eye will show you the paths the greatest photographers took to excellence so you too can take stand-out thrilling photographs.

In Freeman’s own words: “There’s a long line of opinion, from Plato through Kant, that holds creativity to be unteachable, and to be the province of genius. You have it or you don’t. End of story. I don’t agree”

By looking at the work of other great photographers, as well as Freeman’s own work, the book provides the reader with 50 “paths” they can explore to think about taking photos, looking at subjects from cliché to zen, so you will be able to hit the right point in surprise, originality, insight and execution every time.

Багато напівпрофесійних і професійних весільних фотографів прагнуть «розбудити» свій стиль, бути в курсі подій і стимулювати бізнес. А сьогодні це означає лайфстайл-зйомку, яку також називають «художньою весільною фотографією».

Мистецька весільна фотографія – це не просто яскрава фраза; це сучасний підхід, у якому дизайн має першочергове значення. Мистецькі весільні зображення більш графічні та стилізовані, ніж традиційна весільна фотожурналістика, ніби вони взяті зі сторінок весільного глянцевого журналу чи журналу про стиль життя.

Відомий весільний фотограф Хосе Вілья був піонером у мистецтві весільної фотографії, перш ніж це стало модним модним словом. Тут він ділиться своїми секретами створення стилізованого відчуття композиції, освітлення, позування та, найголовніше, дизайну ваших зображень, зберігаючи при цьому їх органічність і оповідь. Ви дізнаєтесь про фірмову техніку Хосе, яка полягає у зйомці більш природного моменту після пози, і поради щодо отримання зображень прямо в камері, щоб уникнути потреби у важкій постпродакшн. Останні розділи показують вам, як інтегрувати дизайн у наданий продукт, будь то альбом чи слайд-шоу, і продовжувати піклуватися про клієнтів після весілля, розширюючи до дитячих і сімейних портретів.

Наповнена прикладами з реального життя, надійними техніками та приголомшливими знімками однієї з найяскравіших зірок весільної індустрії, ця книга навчатиме та надихатиме фотографів, які прагнуть оновити свою роботу та задовольнити нове покоління наречених.

With amazing low-light capabilities, incredible definition, intelligent autofocus and a host of other features, digital cameras have now become so powerful that they have left their users behind.

Most photographers can take competent shots in a range of conditions, or fix imperfect exposures in Photoshop or Lightroom, but very few have the skill to push their cameras to the limit and capture the perfect shot, under all conditions, with no post-processing required.

In Camera is the perfect way to take your photography to that level; to master your camera, understand light, exposure and composition, and make amazing photographs, whatever your camera, without cheating after the event.

One hundred of Gordon’s beautiful photos are given with his own expert commentary; full settings and camera details are included, and a host of tips and tricks let photographers of any level learn something from every example. The shots are taken with a wide range of cameras, and the emphasis is on getting results by improving your own skills, not wasting money on expensive equipment.

In the decades since, they have changed beyond all recognition, and Gordon has built a huge following with his in-depth review website, cameralabs.com.

He regularly posts his travel and food photos across the social networks, celebrating in-camera jpegs over-processed images.

Gain a new perspective on photography in this personally guided introduction to photographic images and what they mean by one of the leading writers and curators of our time

What shapes our response to a photograph? Where does the meaning we ascribe to it come from? And how important to our reading of it are the photographer’s intentions? In a dazzling example of photography writing – an exploration of the photographic medium through 120 images, some familiar, some surprising – David Campany shows us that how we think about photographs is just as important as what we think about them.

Rejecting the conventions of chronology and the heightened status afforded to ‘classics’ in traditional accounts of the history of the medium, Campany’s selection of photographs is an expertly curated and personal one – mixing fine art prints, film stills, documentary photographs, fashion editorials and advertisements. In this playful new take on the history of photography, anonymous photographers stand alongside photography pioneers, 20th-century talents and contemporary practitioners. Each photograph is accompanied by Campany’s highly readable commentary, which strives to guide the reader in their own interpretation and understanding of the image itself.

In a visual culture in which we have become accustomed to not looking, Campany helps us to see.

Maximize your potential to get the shots you want with this guide to photography for both Apple and Android phones.

There’s a saying that the best camera for the job is the one you have with you when an opportunity arises. Thanks to the boom in camera-phone technology, today we’re lucky enough to have a camera to hand to capture all those incredible moments. But are you making the most of that powerful tool in your pocket? Do the photos you have taken tend to be blurry, or look nothing like what you're seeing? If you want to shoot incredible images with your phone, buy Smart Phone, Smart Photography.

Covering simple techniques that will allow you to get the image that you see every single time, you will soon be telling your camera what to do with confidence. Start with The Big Picture and get to know your camera phone and the rules behind taking the perfect shot. The next chapter, Taking Great Pictures, explains the key disciplines of photography – portrait, abstraction, macro, still life and plenty more. Finally, the Post-production chapter demonstrates how to use apps to edit and enhance your images and create incredible prints for display.

Standing in front of a room packed with 360 photographers at his seminar, Scott Kelby asked for a show of hands: “How many of you own some kind of an off-camera flash? A Nikon, Canon, Yongnuo, etc.?” About 340 hands went up. “Okay, I have one more question, but before you raise your hand, I want you to really think about your answer. Let’s see a show of hands — how many of you love using your off-camera flash?” Out of those 360 people, just four people raised their hands. He was stunned.

Sadly, the results were similar in city after city, even in different countries. It’s like we all bought a flash during the “hot shoe flash revolution” of 2008–2011, but we’re not getting the results we got them for in the first place. Not even close. We don’t “love” our flashes, and worse yet, in many cases, we’ve even stopped using them altogether. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You just need somebody to help you unlock the real secrets to getting beautiful, consistent, and easily repeatable results.

That’s why The Flash Book book was created — to help you finally fall in love with your flash — and the best news is, it’s way easier than you’d think. In fact, you’ll be surprised at how simple it really can be because you’re not going to learn a bunch of geeky flash stuff, and you’re not going to have to do math, and you’re not going to need a light meter (it’s not that kind of book). Instead, you’re going to learn an amazingly simple system — one that Scott has been using for years — and the best thing about this system is that it’s so darn easy (it’s probably very different from what you might have seen “on the Internet,” but this system works, and once you try it, you’ll become a believer).

Here’s how the book works: Each idea or technique is just one page, and it starts from scratch, taking you through the flash settings (just the few simple ones you actually need to know); the camera settings (Scott gives you his own settings, and you might not even need to change them during your shoot); and which affordable accessories you really need to start using flash like a pro.

This isn’t a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and complicated concepts. This is a book on which settings to use, and exactly how and when to use them. The whole book is written in Scott’s plain-English, down-to-earth style, which makes the experience more like the two of you are out together on a shoot. It’s time to fall truly head-over-heels in love with your flash, so you can start creating the type of images with your flash that you’ve always dreamed of, and this is the book that can take you there.
