Book The Hot Shoe Diaries

Download or read book The Hot Shoe Diaries written by Joe McNally and published by Peachpit Press. This book was released on 2009-03-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to photography, it’s all about the light. After spending more than thirty years behind the lens—working for National Geographic, Time, Life, and Sports Illustrated—Joe McNally knows about light. He knows how to talk about it, shape it, color it, control it, and direct it. Most importantly, he knows how to create it...using small hot shoe flashes. In The Hot Shoe Diaries, Joe brings you behind the scenes to candidly share his lighting solutions for a ton of great images. Using Nikon Speedlights, Joe lets you in on his uncensored thought process—often funny, sometimes serious, always fascinating—to demonstrate how he makes his pictures with these small flashes. Whether he’s photographing a gymnast on the Great Wall, an alligator in a swamp, or a fire truck careening through Times Square, Joe uses these flashes to create great light that makes his pictures sing.

Book The Ongoing Moment

    Book Details:
  • Author : Geoff Dyer
  • Publisher : Canongate Books
  • Release : 2012-11-08
  • ISBN : 085786338X
  • Pages : 347 pages

Download or read book The Ongoing Moment written by Geoff Dyer and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2012-11-08 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great photographs change the way we see the world; The Ongoing Moment changes the way we look at both. With characteristic perversity – and trademark originality - The Ongoing Moment is Dyer's unique and idiosyncratic history of photography. Seeking to identify their signature styles Dyer looks at the ways that canonical figures such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Kertesz, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus and William Eggleston have photographed the same scenes and objects (benches, hats, hands, roads). In doing so Dyer constructs a narrative in which those photographers – many of whom never met in their lives – constantly come into contact with each other. It is the most ambitious example to date of a form of writing that Dyer has made his own: the non-fiction work of art.
