Are you a lover and admirer of photography? A fan of street art? Are you beginning your photographic journey, or are you a professional photographer?
Consider this new photography book by award-winning photographer E.J. Kelly. It is the second black and white photo book in the series called "StreetScapes."
The first black-and-white photography book delved into the trepidation preparation and learning process of taking photos in black and white.
Any honest photographer will tell you; it is difficult. The other day, I took my camera out to take black-and-white photos for another photography book. I took at least 150 images. Was there a single good photograph? Not even one!
What's going on? Why do I put myself through this? Is this a case of "Photo Block," not thinking in tones, or not knowing enough about the process? What about post-production and editing? There is much to learn about getting it right regarding shooting in black and white.
Mistakes will happen, and lack of motivation will rear its ugly head, but a photo book like this will help give you the encouragement and the inspiration to keep going!
The images inside result from many hours of practice and learning with the tricks of the trade passed onto the reader.
The photographer and author's style are all over the place, but he uses it to his advantage. Just know that there are no limitations to your style; there are no limitations to your enthusiasm, imagination, or motivation. The photo book describes each image with the who, what, where, and why. Each photograph has a brief, enjoyable, and informative essay explaining the concepts, tips, tricks, and hacks used to capture the fleeting moments.
For photography lovers, this is inside information.
For photographers, each image has technical information as well. In the book, you will learn how he created the composition, what settings, what lenses and cameras he used, and how he selected his favorite photographer's locations.
Discover how to use different elements, choose the scenes for tones, types of lighting to look for, quick response shooting, and one of the best ideas, recommending photographers that influence his work.
In keeping with the "inspiration theme," inspirational quotes from photographer legends are used. The "Streetscapes" photo ideas series shows photographers and art enthusiasts that street photography is here to stay and that virtually anyone who gets creative ideas from books like this can get their creative message across.
As a photographer, you can use this and the other books in this series as an inexpensive photo reference book to help you develop your next idea.
As an art lover and an admirer of photography, you can enjoy it to your heart's content!
