Bryan Peterson's Understanding Composition Field Guide: How to See and Photograph Images with Impact Overview

Learn to “see” more compelling images with this on-the-go field guide from Bryan Peterson! 
 
What makes an image amazing? Believe it or not, it is not about the content. What makes a photo compelling is the arrangement of that content—in other words, its composition. The right composition gives your images impact and emotion; the wrong one leaves them flat. In this handy, take-anywhere guide, renowned photographer, instructor, and bestselling author Bryan Peterson frees amateur photographers from the prejudices of what is “beautiful” or “ugly” so that they can instead focus on color, line, light, and pattern. Get the tools you need to show your distinct voice and point of view in every image you shoot. With this guide in your camera bag, you’ll be equipped not only to “see” beautiful images but to successfully shoot them each and every time.

How To Photograph Your Friend's Wedding Like A PRO

How To Photograph Your Friend's Wedding Like A PRO Overview

There is more to Wedding Photography than "taking pictures!" After years of working as a professional wedding photographer, and over twenty years of publishing a successful wedding planning magazine, Bill Cory takes us on a whirlwind tour of a wedding day, what it's all about, what happens, when it happens, where the photographer should be when it happens, how to anticipate the best shots, follow the current trends , and deliver a beautiful set of images.

Originally published in 2003, now updated for 2011, the amazing thing about weddings is this: Fashions and colors go through trendy changes, and equipment has become more advanced — but the weddings and receptions themselves haven't changed for decades (except they're a lot more fun for everyone than they were ten, twenty, or thirty years ago).

Modern weddings are relaxed, with a casual attitude wrapped up in beautiful formal clothing — or, not! The current trend in weddings lends itself perfectly to newcomers in wedding photography, amateurs shooting weddings for friends, and so forth. The main thing is to "be there" and shoot relentlessly — but for details about what and when to shoot, this little 80 page book will be just the ticket. Tips and techniques rarely shared by pro's fill the pages. You won't be disappointed!

Renowned portrait photographer Nick Kelsh shows would-be shutterbugs how to successfully capture images of their kids in this accessible, easy-to-follow guide.

 

In this revised tenth-anniversary edition of STC’s original book, Kelsh discusses digital photography for the first time, and through nine fold-out lessons, gives foolproof methods for mastering baby portraiture. Kelsh’s three main concepts—get closer to your baby, find the right light, and take lots of photos—are illuminated by clear examples and clever sidebars. Also featured are creative ways to display your work and suggestions for unique photography projects. Parents and baby lovers everywhere will benefit from using these professional tips to create priceless photographs that will last a lifetime.

Customer Reviews

I love this book. I originally purchased one for myself several years ago (the first edition). When the revised edition was released, I bought another copy. Most of the information is the same, except the revised edition deals with digital photos rather than film. Nick Kelsh does a fabulous job of showing you how to take awesome photos of your baby. He shows examples of the typical photos most people take and then shows you how to "get closer with your camera and your heart." I have since purchased about 10 of these books because they make great baby shower gifts. I also include a nice photo frame along with the book. I have had several wonderful, heartfelt compliments when I have given this book to new parents/parents-to-be. Some have told me it was the "coolest" gift they received. Obviously, I highly recommend this fantastic book.
