Seznam branja:7 odličnih fotografskih knjig za začetnike

O sebi v Photodoto radi razmišljamo kot o viru, ki ga lahko začetniki fotografi uporabijo za pomoč pri izboljšanju svoje fotografije in iskanju novih, zanimivih virov navdiha.

Imamo celo naš priročen 7-dnevni e-poštni tečaj, ki ga lahko prejmete brezplačno, tako da vnesete svoj e-poštni naslov v polje na desni strani tega odstavka.

Toda včasih potrebujete bolj vključen vir navodil, nekaj bolj poglobljenega in podrobnega. Dobra novica je, da je na trgu na voljo noro veliko knjig, narejenih posebej za fotografa začetnika. Pravzaprav smo pred časom naredili velik seznam nekaj odličnih fotografskih knjig, ki si jih lahko ogledate.

Ker poklicni fotografi in učitelji nenehno pišejo nove knjige ter posodabljajo in revidirajo svoja starejša dela, smo se odločili, da še enkrat pogledamo in ugotovimo, katere druge odlične knjige še niso prišle na naš prvi seznam.

O fotografiji Susan Sontag

Klasika Susan SontagO fotografiji ne bo razložil osvetlitve ali kako posneti akcijske posnetke (čeprav sem jih, če želite izvedeti). Ni poučna in je bila napisana mnogo let, preden so obstajali digitalni fotoaparati. Namesto tega je Sontagova knjiga zbirka esejev, ki jih je napisala med letoma 1973 in 1977.

V njih razpravlja o zgodovini fotografije, pa tudi o vlogi fotografije pri oblikovanju naše kulture. Lahko vam veliko pomaga pri ponovnem premisleku o vaši vlogi fotografa v družbi, pa tudi pri spreminjanju vašega pogleda na svoje delo in delo drugih. Najdete ga tukaj.

Write Your Own Book

You know, you can read every book in the world on photography, written by the greatest photographers who have ever lived, but you’ll never get any better until you get out and start taking pictures. And while knowing the basics of exposure, composition and all of the other details that go into a photograph will help you, understand that there are no actual rules when it comes to art.

So feel free to read as many books as you like and absorb as much information as you can from those who have come before you. But the most important thing is to be yourself. Let the person you are come through in your work. And whether or not you become a world-renowned artist or not, if you let yourself come through in your work, you’ll have done your very best.
