There is a lot more to photography than simply picking up a camera, pointing it toward something, and tripping the shutter. Achieving a great photograph requires thought and preparation, an understanding of the photographic process, and a firm grasp of how light and composition affect a photo. There must be personal involvement and personal expression. There must be experimentation, with the recognition that only a small percentage of experiments end successfully.In this book, best-selling author and world-renowned photographer and teacher Bruce Barnbaum explores these seldom-discussed issues by drawing upon his personal experiences and observations from more than 40 years of photographing and teaching. In addition to photographs, Bruce also uses painting, music, and writing, as well as the sciences and even business, to provide pertinent examples of creative thinking. These examples serve as stepping-stones that will lead you to your own heightened ability to see and be creative.Creativity is a topic that is almost wholly ignored in formal education because most instructors think that it cannot be taught or learned. To the contrary, Bruce has proven that photographic seeing and creativity can be taught, learned, and improved. This book expands on the ideas that are central to Bruce's method of teaching photography, which he has used in workshops for the past 41 years.Included in the book are in-depth discussions on the following topics:Defining your own unique rhythm and approach as a photographerHow to translate the scene in front of you to the final photographThe differences and similarities between how an amateur and a professional approach photographyThe differences between realism and abstraction, and the possibilities and limitations of eachLearning to expand your own seeing and creativity through classes, workshops, and associating with other photographersWhy the rules of composition should be ignoredHow to follow your passionWhen to listen to the critics and when to ignore themThe book is richly illustrated with over 90 photographs taken by Bruce as well as other photographers.Seeing and creativity are difficult to teach, but not impossible. This very different, perhaps groundbreaking book is sure to inspire photographers of all skill levels-from beginners to seasoned professionals-to think deeply about the issues involved in creating successful photographs.

Die vorherrschende Farbe in Orhan Pamuks neuem Fotobuch ist Orange. Wenn der Literaturnobelpreisträger die tägliche Schreibarbeit beendet hat, nimmt er seine Kamera und durchstreift die verschiedenen Viertel seiner Heimatstadt Istanbul. Häufig erkundet er die abgelegenen Gassen, in die sich keine Touristen verirren, Orte, die vernachlässigt und vergessen scheinen, in ein ganz bestimmtes Licht getaucht. Es ist das orange Licht von Straßenlampen und aus Häusern, das Orhan Pamuk so gut aus seiner Kindheit in Istanbul kennt. Doch das vertraute, warme Licht verschwindet. Moderne, billige Leuchtmittel haben Einzug gehalten und nachts leuchtet es zu- nehmend eisig-weiß aus den Fenstern. Die Lichter der Nacht haben sich so schleichend und beinahe unmerklich verändert wie die sozialen Strukturen der ganzen Stadt. Über Jahrzehnte hat Orhan Pamuk die nächtliche Stadtlandschaft fotografiert und so in seinen Bildern ein Istanbul bewahrt, das allmählich verschwindet.

- The stunning third book in the Remembering Wildlife charity series - The aim of the creators is to make the most beautiful photographic book ever seen on a species and to use that to raise awareness of the plight facing that animal and also funds to protect it - Features images generously donated by many of the world's top wildlife photographers - All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to projects working to protect great apes in Africa The 'great apes' - bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, are our closest cousins. Indeed anyone who has ever had the privilege of spending time with them will confirm the remarkable similarities and the deep and moving connection they felt. And yet we humans, the fifth great ape, seem callously able to turn a blind eye to their destruction for the sake of our own rapacious greed. Land, money, cheap ingredients and even components for our mobile phones are prioritized over our family, in a seemingly relentless and insatiable grab for what 'we' want, no matter the consequences. Remembering Great Apes is time for us to say no, no more. We cannot, we will not, let this continue. It is a celebration of the beauty of these species and a cry from those who photograph and love them that things need to change, before it is too late. This is the third book in the groundbreaking Remembering Wildlife series, a project only made possible by the generous wildlife photographers and supporters who march with us in our determination to give wildlife a voice. We cannot, we simply will not remember wildlife in pictures.
