Are you an enthusiast or professional photographer?
Do you do street or travel photography?
If so...
Look at this new book by E.J. Kelly, an award-winning photographer.
It is the continuation of a series of photo books on street photography ideas.
This time, a new collection of black and white images will both inspire and jar your senses.
I went out with my camera the other day to take black-and-white photos for another book of street photography.
I must have taken at least 150 photos. Not a single good photograph? Not one!
What gives? Why do I torture myself? Where is my motivation? Do I have "Photo Block?"
It happens to all of us, and to continue the journey, we need support and inspiration!
This is the essence of this and other idea photo books in this series.
It's a way for like-minded photographers to find inspiration and more creative ways to produce a wider and better range of street images.
The photographer and author is admittedly stylistically all over the place, but he uses this to his advantage.
There are no restrictions on style; no restrictions on your enthusiasm, imagination, or motivation.
Inside, the book describes the who, what, where, and why of each image.
Each photo comes with a brief, fun, and informative essay explaining the idea, tips, tricks, and hacks used to capture alluring moments.
Each image also includes technical information. Learn the settings and favorite locations' composition on the run. how to use different elements, choose scenes for tones, types of lighting to look for, quick response shooting, and recommended photographers that influence his work.
Importantly, and in keeping with the "inspiration theme," inspirational quotes from legends are used.
The "Streetscapes" photo ideas series is created to give the professional and beginning photographer the sense that street photography is here to stay and that virtually anyone inspired by books like this can succeed in conveying their creative message.
