Description

Learn to take better garden photos! One of the most rewarding aspects of gardening is sharing its beauty, both physically with those who visit and virtually with those who only see it on a screen. But capturing a garden's true essence is difficult, and often the moments worth sharing are ephemeral. In 'The Garden Photography Workshop', internationally known garden photographer Andrea Jones shares the trade secrets that make her photos sing. You'll learn the basic photography skills and tips on using a range of camera equipment, covering everything from DSLRs to smartphones and accessories. Profiles of real gardens from around the world exemplify the most common problems a photographer can face, like harsh light, wet weather, and cramped spaces, along with advice and techniques for addressing specific concerns. We live in a photo-driven world, and this helpful guide is a complete tutorial for anyone who wants that world to be filled with beautiful images of gardens and plants. AUTHOR: Andrea Jones specializes in photographs of landscape architecture, gardens, and plants. Her assignments have taken her all over the world and her work regularly appears in House & Garden, Country Living, Gardens Illustrated, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, Sunset, Organic Gardening, Fine Gardening, and GardenDesign. She runs a stock photo library called Garden Exposures. Andrea is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and exhibits her work around the world. In 2008 she was voted Photographer of the Year by her peers in the UK s Garden Media Guild and in 2014 voted Book Photographer of the Year and was also a finalist in the Features Photographer category.
