Product Description
Titles in Barron's Aspire Series offer students of the arts self-teaching tutorials in the form of progressively more challenging projects for them to complete. Carefully structured lessons encourage students to develop their own styles and aspire toward professional careers. In this book, author John Easterby describes photography as the art of storytelling through visual images. Focusing primarily on digital photography, he discusses cameras of different types and sizes and the uses of supporting photographic tools, such as tripods, interchangeable lenses, and lights. He advises on studying the work of professional photographers in galleries, books, and magazines as an important first step in understanding how to look at photos. Tutorial projects include "remaking" a well-known photo by a famous photographer, shooting a natural light portrait, using backlighting, shooting scenes at night, expressing movement in photos, freezing action, keeping a photographic diary, photographing sports events and crowd scenes, using a series of pictures to tell a photo story, and many others. Readers learn how to set up a desktop studio, edit images, and build their portfolio. The enlightening text is supplemented with more than 400 instructive illustrations.

 Great Inspiration! April 13, 2010

Try not to judge this one by its ugly cover... it is a really wonderful book!
My Mom bought me this book and I love it! It has great ideas and examples. I have been doing the 365 (a photo a day) project and this book has helped me on days that I have no photo ideas. Its really helping me broaden my spectrum and think about things in new ways.
You can see a couple of my responses to the different projects suggested in this book on my 365 page, [...]
And another great thing, it is not just a list of projects. The author actually goes into detail and has lighting diagrams. In actuality, there are well over 150 ideas in this book. I know you will not regret this purchase.

I actually returned this item after grazing through it. I had seen a similar item that had more advanced projects and thought this book was that item. The book seems a "rehash" of every beginner photo article ever written. Nothing wrong with that, just not the inspiration I was looking for in this purchase. The clue should have been "Aspiring Photographer".
