Description

Have you mastered the basics of camera control but still struggle with finding your authentic voice

Based on best-selling author Jo Bradford's consistently sold-out six-week course for the Royal Photographic Society, this book provides a clear and concise pathway to finding your personal style, and overcoming creative blocks.

The chapters are structured around key photographic themes, from composition to communication. Each section is packed with project-based exercises, encouraging photographers to not only deconstruct their artistic approach, but also reflect upon and be led through the process of rebuilding it. Blending historic ideas about photography and image-making with current concepts around creativity, this is a modern take on the fundamentals of photography and finding inspiration in simplicity.

The ultimate companion for photographers looking to get out of a creative rut, take their photography forward, and discover new ideas.
