Synopsis
This book continues the popular, best-selling Index series and provides in-depth tips and tricks for using standard digital equipment to create professional-quality images of interesting objects.
The images dominate these books, rarely sharing a page with text. However, each chapter will include substantial brainstorming prompts, production notes that describe the photographic and technical treatments used for each image, and focus spreads that will deal with specific how-to topics. The instructional value of these books remains the same as the original Photo Idea Index, while allowing more space for the images.
This volume stresses both formal studio-type set-ups and spontaneous, guerilla-style photography of everyday objects. This fun and varied book will open readers' eyes to the image potential of the world that is right around them.
