Now totally rewritten, revised, and expanded, this best-selling guide takes a radical approach to creativity. It explains how it is not some gift only for the "chosen few" but actually a skill that can be learned and applied. Using inventive photos from his own stunning portfolio, author and veteran photographer Bryan Peterson deconstructs creativity for photographers.

Understanding Close-up Photography: Creative Close Encounters With or Without a Macro Lens
 160
pages
In Understanding Close-up Photography Bryan Peterson turns his attention to a topic that is an ongoing favorite with photographers. But where most macro photography books focus on capuring subjects in nature, Peterson promises to go beyond, teaching you to photograph a range of subjects from animals and plants from the garden, beach, or mountains to objects found in the kitchen, supermarket, even the junkyard. In addition to information on equipment, exposure, light, and composition, his book will feature elements of technique that go beyond the norm, teaching you to shoot not just what is generally considered close-up, but to go even closer to the point of abstraction. He will also show you how to produce the intimacy of a close-up within a larger shot--how to capture the look in your subject's eyes without compromising the clarity of the surrounding scene. And as always, Peterson offers his signature touch with his personal terminology: in what he likes to call "Pop Junk" he shows how combining creativity with the right digital technology can turn close-up photos of the most ordinary objects into surprising pieces of art. |

Beyond Portraiture: Creative People Photography
 160
pages, 8x10.9 inches
Great portraits go beyond a mere record of a face. They reveal one of the millions
of intimate human moments that make up a life. In Beyond Portraiture, renowned
photographer Bryan Peterson shows how to spot those "ah-ha!" moments and capture
them forever. A teary child...old people laughing together...a smiling girl with
big, big hair. Everyone remember pictures like these, usually taken by a mother,
a father, a friend holding a camera, forever preserving small yet revealing vignettes
of our personal histories. But we always relied on pure luck and chance to catch
those moments. Peterson's approach explains what makes a photo memorable, how
to spot the universal themes that everyone can identify with, and how to use
lighting, setting, and exposure to reveal the wonder and the joy of everyday
moments. Beyond Portraiture makes it easy to create indelible memories with light
and shadow. |
