Book description
It's amazing how many images the world's photographers produce!
Professional or not, images surround us in our everyday lives. What
makes successful photographers stand out? What drives us to revisit
the same images over and over?
All images tell a story. Whether they're produced as works of art,
on assignment for National Geographic, or as part of a family
vacation, images say more than just a shutter speed, ISO, or
aperture setting. We make images for a reason.
Storytellers, by photographer/teacher Jerod Foster, focuses on
visual storytelling and how a deep knowledge of your process and
your personal vision can create stronger images. Storytelling often
requires the use of certain lenses, apertures, or light modifiers,
but the story is what holds everything together. To become a better
storyteller you will explore:
Composition, light, depth of field, and motion and how to properly use your camera technically to dig deeper.
Visual themes and how they provide stories with interest and depth
Types of shots and shooting styles and what they convey in your images
Research and ways to conceptualize your story before shooting
Strategies for developing your own effective storytelling workflow during and after the shoot.
This beautifully written and illustrated guide will help you
connect the how-tos of digital photography with the who, what,
when, where and why of storytelling to bring your vision and your
images to life!
