The Nature of Photographs: A Primer

The Nature of Photographs: A Primer Overview

The Nature of Photographs is the essential primer of photography, not only for students but for anyone with an interest in the medium. This book grew out of a college course that Stephen Shore taught for many years. Its aim is not to explore photographic content - the subject of an image - but to describe the physical and formal attributes of a photographic print, the very elements that form the tools a photographer uses to define and interpret that content. By teaching us how to look at photographs and helping us to see the world the way the photographer may have seen it, Shore also teaches us a way of looking at the world around us. The Nature of Photographs is a primary tool for critical analysis and the understanding of photography in general. As one of the photographers who established colour photography as a legitimate medium of artistic expression in the early 1970s and an influential and important teacher of both the theory and practice of photography, Stephen Shore is the ideal guide to the subject of 'how' to look at photographs. By putting himself in the shoes of the photographers, he imagines the concerns or approach to the subject or concept they may have had when they were taking the picture. As well as a selection of Shore's own work, The Nature of Photographs contains images from all eras of photography, from classic images by Walker Evans, Brassai and Eugene Atget to more contemporary work by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Cindy Sherman, Joel Sternfeld, Thomas Struth, Richard Prince and Andreas Gursky. It includes all genres, such as street photography, fine art photography and documentary photography, as well as images by unknown photographers, be they in the form of a snapshot from the early days of photography or an aerial photograph taken as part of a geographical survey. Shore has selected images by, among others, Eugene Atget, Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, William Eggleston and Robert Adams, and offers an explanation as to how they 'work'. Together with his clear, intelligent and accessible text, Shore uses these works to demonstrate how the world in front of the camera is transformed into a photograph.

Kinky Nature: Dark Erotik Fashion Photography

Kinky Nature: Dark Erotik Fashion Photography Overview

Kinky Nature draws you into a dream forest, teeming with the kinkiest beauties in the land. Explore the wild side of these enchanting girls, whether they're lost in latex or wandering the forest naughtily nude. Fetish and frivolity come together leaving everything and nothing to the imagination. The sultry style of Emma Delves-Broughton's satiates your desire for wild abandonment and kinky natures. Emma Delves-Broughton has always had an uncompromising eye, and this time she's trained it on the kinkiest girls this enchanted forest has to offer. The unrestrained (except when they're physically restrained) beauties are a testament to pure pleasure. Kinky Nature is tantalizing, steamy and seductive. What would you do if you were to suddenly come across a sensuous girl passively saran wrapped to a fallen tree in the forest? Emma Delves-Broughton teases us with this and other fantasies; a vampy vixen sprawled bare skinned and exposed, a kinky creature coyly shows off her wears, attired in nothing but red latex panties. These beauties tantalizingly lead you deeper and deeper into their kinky natures. Emma is a rare kind of photographer, managing to put the model at ease, regardless of the position. Although she started in black and white using a variety of techniques, including hand tinting and toning, she later branched out to color photo-graphy. All of the photos were shot deep in the drizzly forests of the UK. This was no warm and cozy studio shoot! Privacy was hard to come by, and more than once the models found themselves being observed by onlookers other than Emma. Kinky Nature offers bold colors, kinky costumes and of course, lascivious ladies. The damp greens and rough textures of the forest contrast with the delicate skin of the models; aside from their perfect skin, there's nothing delicate about these girls. Their teasing and lustful gazes will pull you into their fantasies. With a mix of latex and lace and sometimes nothing at all, the sirens live and breathe off the page. This book is dangerously seductive; you won't want to put it down!

Customer Reviews

While I have an extensive background in 35mm and medium format photography; I am a newcomer to the Digital Image world and was looking for a book that would add to my knowledge of the subject and hopefully make me a better photographer in the process. "The Ultimate Guide to Digital Nature Photography" has provided exactly what I was looking for in an easy-going, non-threatening style. If you are new to Landscape/Nature Digital Photography; the section on camera choice and equipment suggestions alone is worth the cost. The book covers areas that are the exclusive realm of digital format imaging such as HDR (High Dynamic Range)imaging and the ability of newer DSLR cameras to create photos in extremely low light conditions. This book covers a wide gamut of knowledge and the reader will benefit from what is presented. It has encouraged me to pursue a more in-depth analysis of some sections of the book by additional research. I have rated this book a five-star! I found it to be well written and informative.
