Book Description

Aug 21 2009 Voices That Matter
A great photograph has the potential to transcend verbal and written language. But how do you create these photographs? It’s not the how that’s important, but the who and the what. Who you are as a person has a direct impact on what you capture as a photographer.

Whether you are an amateur or professional, architect or acupuncturist, physician or photographer, this guide provides inspiration, simple techniques, and assignments to boost your creative process and improve your digital images using natural light without additional gear.

Chris Orwig’s insights—to reduce and simplify, participate rather than critique, and capture a story—have made him an immensely popular workshop speaker and faculty member at the prestigious Brooks Institute. His engaging stories presented as lessons follow his classroom approach and highlight what students say is his contagious passion for life.

In this accessible and beautifully illustrated four-color guide you will:
  • Discover visual poetry in the creative process
  • Use less to say more with your subject matter
  • Learn to see light, color, shape, and expression
  • Understand what gear is essential
  • Create compelling portraits
  • Make lasting memories of your family and kids
  • Capture the outdoors and adventure
  • Begin the transition from amateur to professional
Chris also includes exclusive interviews with such photographers as: Steve McCurry, Chris Rainier, John Sexton, Rodney Smith, Joyce Tenneson, John Paul Caponigro, Marc Riboud, and Pete Turner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freedom Oct 7 2009
Format:Paperback
When reading this book it was like being given fresh air to breathe. I was feeling trapped in the notion of trying to make all my photos technically as good as possible and began to see everything in "Cliches". This beautiful book gave me back my freedom of creativity and let the shackles of "Cliche" let loose. For any one stuck in the same place or someone needing a little hand to hold as you venture in parts unknown it is an excellent read. I have told my friends at our local camera club it is a must read to jump start those tired brains.Hope this helps...and ...GET THE BOOK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poésie et techniques Mar 17 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ce livre est profondément humain et c'est à ce besoin qu'il répond. L'auteur nous transmet son amour pour la photographie et nous montre les dessous de toute entreprise humaine dont la passion est le leitmotiv. S'il n'est pas aussi technique que j'aurais pu le croire en me le procurant, il n'en demeure pas moins un livre de grande valeur et dont je ne regrette aucunement l'achat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Low on technique high on inspiration Mar 1 2010
Format:Paperback
Very refreshing change from so many of the technique obsessed photography books. This is a book which inspires you to go take pictures - and think about what and why you are doing.

I'd definitely recommend it - but not untill you are utterly comfortable with your gear and how it functions.
