Photography

With Developing Vision and Style and Working the Light, Argentum have established a successful series of Masterclasses that explain the principles of creative photography. This new title covers all kinds of location photography and deals with two of the most fundamental questions of all - 'What should I photograph?' and 'How should I tackle it?' These may seem obvious questions but many photographers, no matter how experienced, can suffer the photographic equivalent of writer's block. They either lack the inspiration for a subject or are unable to see how to capture their chosen subject successfully. In this book Clive Minnitt and Phil Malpas offer clear and practical advice on the steps photographers can take to release their creativity and find and take a successful image. They tackle a wide range of themes including photographic styles, sources of inspiration, seeing versus looking, simplifying photographs and experimentation. Throughout they give tips and suggestions based on many years of experience both as location photographers and as course leaders, showing, for example how to practice 'seeing' or how to criticise your work.
