Ansel Adams' experience, talent and visualization come together in this book to describe (with relative ease) even the most complex aspects of photography. His comprehension of the matter is wildly beyond most (if not all) other authors. I would especially recommend this book to intermediate photographers who have had fairly enough experience in the field. Amateurs will no doubt find it useful yet a bit complex in some technical issues. This book is a must for the serious photographer as it enlightens doubts. Click here to explore this title |

Ansel's fantastic images and stories combine with his technical discussions to provide the perfect insight into how to become the necessary craftsman. His uncompromising approach into printmaking and photography are clear and simple examples that any novice should at least start with. There are other books out there - but no better start than this. Enjoyable and instructive at the same time! Click here to explore this title |

The tradition of coloring photographs is almost as old as the medium itself, arising from the desire to soften the starkness of early photos. Handcoloring is very popular again, and this lovely book makes it easy to see why. Art photographer Dorskind clearly explains how she achieves her evocative and atmospheric "photopaintings," from materials and color basics, to composing a photo, to presenting and storing your work. Though the finished product may look like something only a professional photographer could produce, the technique is actually quite straightforward. Click here to explore this title |

A list of suppliers will help you find the materials you need. By mastering the techniques covered in detail in this book, you'll be able to achieve your goal: producing images that aren't simply representations of a subject.
