5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most helpful books on landscape photography, 3 April 2007

By	Mr. Adrian Hollister (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read many books on Landscape Photography. This one is very different. Although Alain briefly covers the basic technical stuff, the real gems are the sections on the more complicated artistic elements, an area where many other writers fear to tread. His sections on seeing photographically, composition, lighting, portfolios and personal style were illuminating. I found the sections on being an artist in business a little out of place and would have preferred to see more of the artistic aspects, leaving the "business" sections to another publication (although Alain has more detailed writings in both areas). Others would disagree! However, if you have any remaining doubts about buying this book look at Alain's website: www.beautiful-landscape.com and you will want to read what this artist has to say in his book! One of the best books in the genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dedication to detail!, 8 April 2007

By	laughing bear (NW atlantic coast - Ireland) - See all my reviews

Alain is dedicated to arts and precision. His didactical approach on the matter of landscape photography is astonishingly finely tuned towards an audience that spans from beginner to established master. His education and most of all his personality makes this book a very pleasant read.

I can not even begin to tell you how much useful information he shares in this astonishing book. It starts with the very basics, but even there he explains his view in ways that probably will show new aspects on these basics to the reader.

I meant to let you know about the structure of Alain's book, it really covers a lot of ground from the photographic process as a whole, to the technical and the artistic aspects, to creating a portfolio, establishing a personal style, being an artist, running a business and learning how you can do this too through specific "Skill Enhancement Exercises. "

These exercises are offered at the end of each chapter and allow you to study and work on each part of the process on your own and at your own pace.

Chapter 1: How to see Photographically
Chapter 2: How to compose a photograph
Chapter 3: How to choose the best lens for a specific composition
Chapter 4: How to find the best light for a specific photograph
Chapter 5: How to select the best "film" for a specific image
Chapter 6: How to determine the best exposure for a specific photograph
Chapter 7: Keepers or not Keepers?
Chapter 8: How to create a portfolio of your work
Chapter 9: How to establish a personal photographic style
Chapter 10: Being an Artist
Chapter 11: Being an Artist in Business Part one
Chapter 12: Being an Artist in Business Part two
Chapter 13: How you can do it too
Chapter 14: Conclusion

Whether you are devoted to the subject, or just interested in more detailed views of an artist in business, this book is unique in it's approach and a great pleasure to read.

I have a coffee spot on one page, literally spitting out my coffe because I was laughing so hard while reading his story about....

Well, I do not want to spoil it for you. :o)

Alain's book is one of a kind, a true gem and I am reading it the second time now.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring and instructive read, 20 Feb 2008

By	Innes Ferguson "gadget boy" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is simply wonderful. Although it covers many topics that are common to so many other photography titles, Alan Briot's book does it with such an engaging style and such deep insight that it surpasses pretty much everything else on the market. His photographs, which are displayed throughout the book, are quite sensational. But it's the carefully crafted text - in concert with his images - where the real value of this book derives from. The scope of his writing, which covers such topics as composition, developing a personal style, selecting your best work, creating a portfolio, and being an artist in business, is truly ambition. The best part is that he pulls it off - and very successfully at that. Bravo Briot.
