Book Description
THE FIRST BOOK WITH ONE FOOT ON THE COFFEE TABLE, AND ONE FOOT IN THE
CLASSROOM
Joe McNally, one of the world’s top pro digital photographers, whose celebrated work has graced the pages of Sports Illustrated, Time, and National Geographic (to name a few), breaks new ground by doing something no photography book has ever done—blending the rich, stunning images and elegant layout of a coffee-table book with the invaluable training, no-nonsense insights, and photography secrets usually found only in those rare, best-of-breed educational books.
When Joe’s not on assignment for the biggest-name magazines and Fortune 500 clients, he’s in the classroom teaching location lighting, environmental portraiture, and how to “get the shot” at workshops around the world. These on-location workshops are usually reserved for a handful of photographers each year, but now you can learn the same techniques that Joe shares in his seminars and lectures in a book that brings Joe’s sessions to life.
What makes the book so unique is the “triangle of learning” where (1) Joe distills the concept down to one brief sentence. It usually starts with something like, “An editor at National Geographic once told me…” and then he shares one of those hard-earned tricks of the trade that you only get from spending a lifetime behind the lens. Then, (2) on the facing page is one of Joe’s brilliant images that perfectly illustrates the technique (you’ll recognize many of his photos from magazine covers). And (3) you get the inside story of how that shot was taken, including which equipment he used (lens, f/stop, lighting, accessories, etc.), along with the challenges that type of project brings, and how to set up a shot like that of your own.
This book also gives you something more. It inspires. It challenges. It informs. But perhaps most importantly, it will help you understand photography and the art of making great photos at a level you never thought possible. This book is packed with those “Ah ha!” moments—those clever insights that make it all come together for you. It brings you that wonderful moment when it suddenly all makes sense—that “moment it clicks.”
这不仅仅是一本强大的技术指导书,而且有些自传的味道,写的太好,实在是一本值得读了再读的书,尤其是在放过一段时间后,非常值得再读,用温故而知新来形容简直再恰当不过。 这本书适合的读者应当是已经做摄影师,或者打算做摄影师的选手,主要设计人物拍摄。 什么叫惊喜? ...
评分经典· 里面技巧不是很多,但却提供的很多摄影方面全新的视角和思维。我觉得这个是很重要的,有点像创意的发想和构图。 好技巧在另一本书里,这边还是思维方面多一点。很多东西消化不了,可能自己的摄影技术不行,所以有些东西看不懂,但换个角度换个思维去拍照片,启发蛮多的

评分My daughter Caitlin was about three at the time, so I brought it upstairs and asked her about it. She said, “It’s for luck, Daddy.” It’s much bedraggled now—it’s lost its eyes and mouth, and it could use a run through the washing machine. But it’s stayed in my camera bag .... Caitlin just turned 22.
