This is a unique book, with a unique aim and daring ambition. I want to help you to know how to photograph any subject or situation you may encounter. Of course, it is essential to learn the basic techniques of photography. But that is like learning basic cooking techniques such as chopping, stir-frying, boiling. You have nothing edible until you add the ingredients. And to make a tasty meal you have to follow a recipe which works with and responds to the character of the ingredients to make the best use of them. This is a photographic recipe book. It shows how to create pictures by working with the basic ingredients of color, light, and space—then “cooking” them up using techniques such as exposure, framing, and focus. By following the step-by-step recipes, you will steadily gain the ability to photograph absolutely everything. At the same time, the book brings together numerous tricks and tips that you may apply to a vast range of photographic challenges, empowering you to make the most of every photographic opportunity.
