Pictures - How to make them - Introduction

A person’s “eye”, how they see the world, is unique to them. Making images that reflect that vision is the serious photographer’s goal. Capturing that vision, to go from seeing an image to making it, are two very different things. Teaching this skill, while protecting the reader’s artist’s eye, is the goal of this book.


This book is designed for photographers who realize their brain is the most important picture making tool they own.
