Learn to take better pictures in this step-by-step, how-to
photography guide filled with tips on lighting, equipment, inspiration,
and more.
Featuring more than 200 of master photographer Art Wolfe's stunning
images, The Art of the Photograph helps amateur photographers of all
levels break bad habits and shatter common yet incorrect assumptions
that hold many photographers back. This is Wolfe's ultimate master
class, in which he shares the most important insights and techniques
learned in four decades of award-winning photography. Along with
co-author Rob Sheppard, Wolfe challenges us to stop focusing on subjects
we feel we should photograph and instead, to "see like a camera sees,"
seek out a personal point of view, and construct stunning, meaningful
images. You'll also learn how to:
- Reexamine prejudices that define (and limit) what you photograph
- See beyond the subject to let light and shadow lead you to the right
image
- Find inspiration, including the story behind Wolfe's own photographic
journey.
- Use formal art principles to build more compelling images.
- Choose the right camera and lens for the image you see in your mind's
eye.
- Recognize the 10 deadly sins of composition--and how to avoid them.
- ...and even get a behind-the-lens look at Wolfe's equipment and
workflow.
