A little reading for 2010
Sunday, January 10th, 2010Winter looks cool, very cool and temperatures invite more to stay home by the fireplace reading books to get his case. If you did not know what books you dive into this winter, here is a small selection of those I'm booked for the next month or that I intend to read:
Within the frame (David Duchemin): I had already mentioned HERE . A very interesting book that really helps to develop a photographic approach without focusing on the hardware. To be on the shelf ... for those who speak and read English a minimum
.
Council of Young Photographer (Olivier Föllmi): A little book which you can see behind the scenes work that I admire the photographer always the same. Oliver reveals her daily photo-globe-trotter in embellishing these explanations of stories, dating as I fond, of course with beautiful images. you can find HERE Editions de la Martiniere.
Steve McCurry (Anthony Bannon): McCurry is certainly one of the most significant photographers of our time. I jump often these images to understand so that they are so strong, so talking to try to understand the commitment and the messages of this photographer. This book collects the most famous images with explanations and interpretations of Anthony Bannon.
Published by Phaidon, is found HERE
A man's height (Patrick Wilde): I had already noticed this book, without interest me more than that, and a friend lent me recently. Patrick DeWilde photograph the people he met for 25 years and seeks to convey the beauty and dignity of ethnic groups that he met during these years of travel. Portraits simple but strong, with some quotations.
Editions de la Martiniere, on sale HERE
Mitchell Kanashkevich: No book "paper" for this young photographer whose work I love, but two e-Book to download in PDF format.
In its first "electronic book" Mitchell offers us a tutorial on post processing images.
In the second, Mitchell shows us its management and interpretation of light with different tools such as flash, reflector or just natural light. This book is for me a must-have because it explains simply and effectively with diagrams and examples how to light a subject.
The e-books are available on the website of Mitchell , and remember to take a ride on his blog , there are some very beautiful images. Oh, little detail is still in English.
Although I do not leave again abroad in the next few months, and winter is harsh, my devices are not stored in the closet for all my evenings and will not happen until the fire to read a book, they will even cool enough.
Back in my Savoyan I love, I shoot mainly skiing this winter and I also work on another web site dedicated to photo snow sports and concert with maybe .... blog associated with the site. Not to mention that I am preparing with images cut from my last trip to Nepal. Not a lot of work into perspective, I think I'll sleep a little less this season!
The atmosphere of the middle of the ski is very different from what I encounter while traveling. A completely different spirit and approach of the photo very different but very interesting bit where we really give free rein to their creativity. Continued ...
