Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOBRE EL LIBROLorenzo muestra en su bestseller que las normas de la fotografía, aparentemente simples, son también válidas en el arte de vivir. Inspirador y poético, este libro despierta las energías del lector creativo y hace renacer su pasión por la vida. En 2005, la vida de Lorenzo como marido, padre y empleado en una empresa giraba en torno a su casa, su trabajo y su trayecto diario del extrarradio a la ciudad... hasta que se separó y encontró alojamiento en una habitación de la "pequeña iglesia", en el centro mismo de Manhattan, virtualmente aislado del resto del mundo. Aquella estancia le brindaría una inesperada oportunidad de reexaminar su vida. Se lanzó casi de inmediato a fotografiar la ciudad, una pasión que había dejado a un lado en los años que dedicó a estudiar en la universidad y formar una familia. Durante sus periplos nocturnos por las calles de Nueva York, Lorenzo recordó algunas de esas importantes lecciones que nos da la vida y que, en el ajetreo de lo cotidiano, olvidamos a veces con facilidad. Más información en : www.25Lessons.com 25 Lecciones ha sido el reportaje fotográfico más vendido en amazon.com en 2010, 2011 y 2012.Lo que ha dicho la crítica.... Por fin, un nuevo libro de referencia para la generación de "El guardián entre el centeno" Aquí no encontrarás lecciones sobre cómo estar en el poder, ni sobre la necesidad de detenerse a contemplar la esencia de la vida, o a apreciar los momentos especiales; este libro es la experiencia, el momento. Después de leer "25 lecciones", uno no puede seguir acomodado en su statu quo; Lorenzo atrapa la noche y utiliza la fotografía para, mientras plasma todo cuando observa a través de su objetivo, mostrarnos su propia experiencia de una metamorfosis que va del interior al exterior. Si uno no experimenta un rotundo cambio en su vida después de haber leído este libro es que no estaba atento y debe volver a empezar desde el principio, hasta encontrar la inspiración. Internaliza todo cuanto el libro te ofrece y comienza tu propio viaje de auto descubrimiento.Beth Jannery, autora de Simple Grace: Living a Meaningful Life."...No he encontrado a ningún otro fotógrafo que haya sido capaz de captar la esencia de las calles de Nueva York con un estilo tan propio y singular... el trabajo de Lorenzo surge en muchas de mis conversaciones sobre grandes fotógrafos, y me siento orgullosa de haber reconocido tempranamente su talento. Los "instantes en el tiempo" que Lorenzo capta permiten al espectador estudiar relaciones humanas que, en la dinámica de la vida real, son imposibles de percibir. Y sus secuencias fotográficas son, si cabe, aún más fascinantes; cada una de ellas tiene valor en sí misma; vistas en conjunto, forman un poema urbano. Me complace enormemente haber presenciado la rápida evolución de Lorenzo como uno de los fotógrafos de referencia de nuestra época".Jim Van Meter, Rochester, NY, USA"... No hace falta entender de fotografía ni ser un experto en temas formales de técnica, luz o composición para quedarte sin palabras delante de su obra. Y eso, probablemente, es lo mejor.Sus fotografías llegan a todo el mundo, independientemente de la edad, religión, nacionalidad o estatus social. Lorenzo adora Nueva York, y eso se nota. Retrata como nadie su ciudad, sus gentes, sus colores, sus sentimientos y, en general, su atmósfera. En realidad, todo se resume en la esencia; como fotógrafo, no reproduce simplemente lo que tiene delante, sino que es capaz de capturar su esencia, su espíritu. Y eso, que él consigue en cada foto de manera natural, es algo realmente muy difícil de alcanzar." Carmen Padró: Barcelona, Spain
Download or read book El Libro de la Fotograf a Digital written by Scott Kelby and published by Peachpit Press. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scott Kelby, el hombre que revolucionó "el cuarto oscuro digital" con Manipula tus fotografías digitales con Photoshop, el libro pionero más premiado y vendido de todos, nos invita nuevamente a incursionar en la fotografía digital al develarnos los secretos de los fotógrafos profesionales más conocidos, y así sacar fotografías de alta calidad (es más fácil de lo que se piensa). He aquí la brillante premisa de este libro en palabras del propio Scott: "Imagínate que estamos tomando fotos juntos y de repente me dices: ‘Oye, ¿cómo le hago para que la flor quede bien enfocada pero el fondo fuera de foco?’” No me pondría a darte toda una cátedra de fotografía. En esa circunstancia, simplemente te diría: "coloca tu teleobjetivo zoom, ajústalo a una abertura de f/2.8, enfoca la flor y dispara". De eso se trata este libro: tú y yo tomando fotos, y yo contestando a todas tus preguntas, dándote consejos y compartiendo contigo todos los secretos que he aprendido, tal y como lo haría con un buen amigo, evitándote además el lastre de los tecnicismos. Este no es un libro de teoría, repleto de palabras técnicas y confusas, y de conceptos complicados. Este libro te indicará qué botón apretar, qué configuración usar y cuándo. Con cerca de 200 de los trucos más preciados del gremio fotográfico, este libro te ayudará a mejorar dramáticamente tus fotografías, haciéndolas más nítidas, más coloridas y mucho más profesionales. En cada página se desarrolla un concepto que te ayudará a mejorar la calidad de tus fotos. A cada vuelta de página te encontrarás con otra configuración, mecanismo o truco de profesional, que convertirá tus instantáneas en fotografías dignas de una galería. Si estás harto de sacar fotos que sólo se ven más o menos bien, y nunca como las que aparecen en las revistas de fotografía, entonces este es el libro que necesitas. Scott Kelby, the man who changed the "digital darkroom" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography—how to take professional-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think). Here’s how Scott describes this book’s brilliant premise: "If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?' I wouldn't stand there and give you a photography lecture. In real life, I'd just say, 'Put on your zoom lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.' That's what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I've learned just like I would with a friend—without all the technical explanations and techie photo speak." This isn't a book of theory—full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. With nearly 200 of the most closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade," this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time. Each page covers a single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you're tired of taking shots that look "okay," and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, "Why don't my shots look like that?" then this is the book for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra trata sobre la vida de un exitoso fotógrafo poblano de principios del siglo pasado, Josaphat Martínez, cuya transcendencia en las artes gráficas de su época, dejó de una profunda huella en la modalidad fotografía. Su talento y sensibilidad le permitieron ascender rápidamente como profesional, primero en México, retratando a los principales caudillos de la Revolución Mexicana, y posteriormente en las ciudades de Rochester y Nueva York, encomendándosele la toma fotográfica del presidente Woodrow Wilson, algo difícil de darse a un mexicano, debido a las tensas relaciones EU-México, y por lo tanto la animadversión hacia los mexicanos era en ese entonces sumamente marcada. Sin ser biografía de Josaphat propiamente dicha, la obra describe una parte de su interesante vida y por otro lado, en el relato de la misma, pueden captarse los momentos históricos que se vivían, en ambos países, llegando hasta la vida posrevolucionaria de México.

They have also eliminated some of the general history of photography and added more of the early history of photography in Mexico, as well as many new, previously unpublished images. The book is organized both chronologically and thematically, which allows viewer/readers to follow the evolution of major photographic genres and styles.

Download or read book Photography in Latin America written by Gisela Cánepa Koch and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical photographs taken in Latin America have now become key sites for memory politics, ethnographic imagination, and the negotiation of identity. This volume opens up a set of questions relating to the contemporaneous agency of images as well as their current appropriation via new technologies. Case studies of pictures taken in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Brazil analyze these processes by tracing how the images have been resignified over time and space. The contributions examine photographs that have been recently rediscovered by such diverse actors as European museums, human rights organizations, anthropologists, shamans, local historians, and communities of internet users.

Download or read book Looking for Mexico written by John Mraz and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Looking for Mexico, a leading historian of visual culture, John Mraz, provides a panoramic view of Mexico’s modern visual culture from the U.S. invasion of 1847 to the present. Along the way, he illuminates the powerful role of photographs, films, illustrated magazines, and image-filled history books in the construction of national identity, showing how Mexicans have both made themselves and been made with the webs of significance spun by modern media. Central to Mraz’s book is photography, which was distributed widely throughout Mexico in the form of cartes-de-visite, postcards, and illustrated magazines. Mraz analyzes the work of a broad range of photographers, including Guillermo Kahlo, Winfield Scott, Hugo Brehme, Agustín Víctor Casasola, Tina Modotti, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Héctor García, Pedro Meyer, and the New Photojournalists. He also examines representations of Mexico’s past in the country’s influential picture histories: popular, large-format, multivolume series replete with thousands of photographs and an assortment of texts. Turning to film, Mraz compares portrayals of the Mexican Revolution by Fernando de Fuentes to the later movies of Emilio Fernández and Gabriel Figueroa. He considers major stars of Golden Age cinema as gender archetypes for mexicanidad, juxtaposing the charros (hacienda cowboys) embodied by Pedro Infante, Pedro Armendáriz, and Jorge Negrete with the effacing women: the mother, Indian, and shrew as played by Sara García, Dolores del Río, and María Félix. Mraz also analyzes the leading comedians of the Mexican screen, representations of the 1968 student revolt, and depictions of Frida Kahlo in films made by Paul Leduc and Julie Taymor. Filled with more than fifty illustrations, Looking for Mexico is an exuberant plunge into Mexico’s national identity, its visual culture, and the connections between the two.
