Product Description

Review

'From an educator's perspective, this is probably the best book on photography I've come across ... this title covers everything that photography students need from production and distribution to critical analysis (and everything in between). The book's layout has been well designed and the language used is very accessible to a range of students.' Dave Caton, School of Art, Swindon College, UK. 'A relevant and inspiring book that strikes a good balance between explaining the basics and giving an inspirational look into the world of professional photography. Attractively and clearly laid out with clear graphics and good examples of professional work.' Katherine Baker, Guildford College, UK. 'Very up-to-date text/layout style which students have commented on! Set out in a very clear and easy fashion.' Richard Sainsbury, Guildford College, UK.

Product Description

The Fundamentals of Creative Photography offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of applied creative photography. It explores the basic principles that underpin photography, and guides the reader though the practical considerations involved in executing the perfect shot. The book is concerned with photography in a professional context images that are to be used in the fulfilment of a brief, rather than those created solely for self-expression. Creativity is important, but must be focused on meeting the clients needs. This title gives a unique insight into professional working practices in the creative imaging industries. It is an ideal introductory text for anyone looking to enter the industry, or for those studying professional practice modules within a lens-based visual arts course.

Format:Paperback
It is often said that a good book should challenge your ideas and cause you to question what you are reading. Well David Prakel has achieved this in The Fundamentals of Creative Photography! I found myself, in equal measure, questioning how I looked at some images whilst arguing (occasionally out loud, much to my own embarrassment) with David's words.

would I read more of Davids work, simply put, yes! If this book is anything to go by he writes extremely well, and gets his points across with a certain style. Would I recommend this book to anyone? Well that is a slightly tougher question, The book is not aimed at the average beginner picking up a book to learn the basics of photography, so no, but I would point anyone studying photography with the aim to become a pro photographer towards this book as it will certainly aid their progress. Overall a well written interesting read.
