Riassunto

Flowers are often a photographer’s favorite subject, and this sumptuous manual covers all the practical skills and aesthetic considerations involved in shooting an array of blossoms. Whether the image is a close-up of a petal or a long shot of a landscape brilliantly in bloom, author Sue Bishop’s inspirational compositions celebrate color and form: they move beyond straightforward depictions of flowers into something more abstract, personal, and unique. She presents three comprehensive sections that cover technical matters such as equipment, lighting, exposure, and depth of field; using color; and artistic concerns such as the use of backgrounds, soft focus, and special effects.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Sue Bishop has been taking photographs for 18 years, and has always found flowers to be the subject she returns to with a passion. Her sumptuous images blur the boundaries between photography and art, with an emphasis on colour and form that often creates and abstract composition.
Sue has exhibited her work many times, including at the Mall Galleries and the Royal Horticultural Society in London. She has contributed photographs and articles to photographic magazines and has sold work for use in travel brochures and books, as well as selling print to a range of clients around the world. Her range of photographic greetings cards was shortlisted for the Henries Awards in 2000 and in the same year her photograph of a wildflower meadow in Andalucia was highly commended in the prestigious BG Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition and exhibited in the Natural History Museum, London, before going on tour worldwide.
In 1994, Sue and fellow photographer Charlie Waite founded Light & Land, which runs photographic tours to destinations all over the world.
