Why are human beings driven to make?It’s as if we collectively intuited, long before science gave us the language, that the universe bends toward entropy, and every act of creation on our part is an act of defiance in the face of that evolving disorder.   When we pick up a paintbrush, or compose elements through our camera viewfinders, or press fingers into wet clay to wrestle form from a shapeless lump, we are bending things back toward Order and wrestling them from Chaos.   But making things is often not enough.   We also want the things we make to be filled with meaning. We’re each trying to describe what we know about life, to create a collective sense of “safety in numbers.” When we reach the end of our traditional descriptive powers, it’s time to weave collective meaning from poetry, painting, writing, dancing, photographing, filmmaking, storytelling, singing, animating, designing, performing, carving, sculpting, and a million other ways we daily create Order out of the Chaos and share it with each other for comfort.   On this journey we need a creative philosophy which will help us find our voice, discover our message, deal with the responses to our work, maintain inspiration, and stay mentally healthy and motivated creators as we strive to find “the meaning in the making.”Table of ContentsChapter 1: OrderChapter 2: LogosChapter 3: BreathChapter 4: VoiceChapter 5: EgoChapter 6: ControlChapter 7: AttentionChapter 8: EnvyChapter 9: CritiqueChapter 10: FeelChapter 11: ShadowsChapter 12: MeaningChapter 13: TimeChapter 14: Benediction","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204944887986,"sku":"9781681987231","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781681987231_33e40441-ed5b-4011-a3de-f9db33751c39.jpg?v=1786024763"},{"product_id":"9781681989778","title":"Digital Collage With Procreate","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDigital Collage with Procreate\u003c\/i\u003e is the ultimate guide to every step of creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork.

Thanks to inexpensive flashes that are compatible with all major camera manufacturers (such as Yongnuo), owning and using a flash is now easily within reach for nearly all shooters, whether you're a hobbyist or aspriring professional. Once you own a flash, though, you'll have a lot of questions about how to get it to create the light you need—questions about camera and flash settings, questions about direction, quality, and quantity of light. And in addition to knowing how to use your flash, you need to know which modifiers and triggers you might need, and you need to learn use them quickly.   That’s why this book was created: to quickly get you to the technique, the setting, or exactly the right thing you need to do right now to improve your work.   Here’s how it works: When you need to know how to do a particular thing, you turn to the chapter where it would be found, find the thing you need to do (it’s easy, each page covers just one single topic), and Scott tells you exactly how to do it just like he was sitting there beside you, using the same casual style as if he were telling a friend. That way, you get back to shooting fast.   This isn’t a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and complicated concepts. This is a book on which settings to use, and exactly how and when to use them. The whole book is written in Scott’s plain-English, down-to-earth style, which makes the experience more like the two of you are out together on a shoot.

He was earning the lowest pay grade possible and living in a cheap hotel in Manhattan. Life was not glamorous. But with a fierce drive, an eye for a picture, and a willingness to take (almost) any assignment that came his way, Joe stepped out onto the always precarious tightrope of the freelance photographer and never looked back. Fast forward 40 years, and his work has included assignments and stories for National Geographic, Time, LIFE, Sports Illustrated, and more. He has travelled for assignments to nearly 70 countries and received dozens of awards for his photography.  In The Real Deal, Joe tells us how it all started, and candidly shares stories, lessons, and insights he has collected along the way. This is not a dedicated how-to book about  where to put the light,  though there is certainly instructional information to be gleaned here. This is also not a navel-gazing look back at  the good old days,  because those never really existed anyway. Instead, The Real Deal is simply a collection of candid  field notes  some short, some quite long gathered over time that, together, become an intimate look behind the scenes at a photographer who has pretty much seen and done it all.  Though the photography industry bears little resemblance to the industry just 10 years ago (much less 40 years ago), what it really takes to become a successful photographer the character traits, the fundamental lessons, the ability to adapt, and then adapt again remains the same. Joe writes about everything from the crucial ability to know how to use (and make!) window light to the importance of creating long-term relationships built on trust; from lessons learned after a day in the field to the need to follow your imagination wherever it takes you; from the  random  and  lucky  moments that propel one s career to the wonders and pitfalls of today s camera technology. For every mention of f-stops and shutter speeds, there is equal discussion about the importance of access, the occasional moment of hubris, and the idea of becoming iconic.  Before Joe was a celebrated and award-winning photographer, before he was a well-respected educator and author of multiple bestselling books, he was just Joe, hustling every day, from one assignment to the next, piecing together a portfolio, a skill set, a reputation, a career. He imagined a life and then took pictures of it. Here are a few frames.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302868595061,"sku":"9781681988016","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781681988016_a0125260-3f9c-491d-94e8-3a31bc1f4ea3.jpg?v=1786024771"},{"product_id":"9781681988092","title":"Sony A7R IV: Pocket Guide","description":"Designed for photographers who haven t memorized every button, dial, setting, and feature on their Sony a7R IV, Rocky Nook s handy and ultra-portable quick reference Pocket Guide helps you get the shot when you re out and about.

Once a photographer has learned the fundamental techniques of photography the basics of exposure, composition, and focus their work often improves over the course of a few months or years. The world is full of wonders to photograph, and photographers can be pulled in many directions, excitedly chasing the light and the moment. This approach can certainly yield wonderful photographs, but over time the photographer s progress often begins to slow, and eventually, it can stop altogether.  The reason for this is simple: creativity begins with image-making, but true progress comes with learning to edit and organize your work in ways that reflect your unique style and perspective, ways that offer you insight into how you can improve your work moving forward. In short, the key to becoming the best photographer you can be is to create an ongoing portfolio (or multiple portfolios) of your work.  Based on an eight-week course taught by renowned photographer and author William Neill, The Photographer s Portfolio Development Workshop provides the tools and skills you need in order to create a methodology that allows you to create a tightly edited portfolio of work, no matter your end goal: a box of prints, a book, an online presentation or website, or even a gallery exhibit.  A portfolio is simply a collection of photographs with a consistent theme and consistent quality.

Of all the magical elixirs that make up a successful photograph, composition is perhaps the most fundamental, and at the same time the most elusive. What makes a composition  good ? It s hard to define exactly, but we instinctively recognize good composition when we see it. There is an undeniable emotional response when a composition resonates with and complements the subject matter of an image.  But traditional attempts to define  good composition  and to pass on rules for good compositional construction are often doomed to failure. The truth is, there are no hard and fast rules. Rules eliminate experimentation and spontaneity, which are crucial for creating compelling, dynamic, and exciting compositions. The best compositions contain an element of the unexpected.  Expect the unexpected!  is perhaps the only viable  rule  of composition. To create exciting compositions, you must have a willingness to embrace serendipity and change as part of your artistic practice. After all, composition is a process, not a result.  In Composition \u0026amp; Photography, photographer and bestselling author Harold Davis teaches you how to perceive patterns and abstractions and incorporate them into your image-making process. If one of the goals of photography is to show viewers things that are new, or things they haven t seen before, or things they have seen many times but need to see anew, then it s with the thoughtful and considered use of composition that you do that.  In this book, you ll learn how to reduce your subject matter to the fundamentals, and to show familiar subjects in unfamiliar, novel ways. Harold covers topics and themes such as: ? Lines and circles ? Rectangles ? Combinations ? Repetition ? Symmetry and asymmetry ? Abstraction ? Entering and exiting ? Vanishing points and perspective ? Emphasis ? Designing within a frame ? Creating order from chaos.  Composition \u0026amp; Photography will help you find the tools and visual vocabulary to creatively design your photographs. Regardless of the genre and kind of photography you practice, you ll learn to create powerful compositions that incorporate structure and form into your work in ways that best support your images. Along the way, Harold shows and discusses his own work relating to each compositional element or theme he s exploring. And featured throughout the book are exercises about flexibility and process, designed to spur your creativity and help you begin an internal creative discussion.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303431025013,"sku":"9781681987439","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781681987439_9489ca13-1f1e-4fd8-81c6-7952935e4c15.jpg?v=1786024766"},{"product_id":"9781681987354","title":"Dare to Create","description":"Want to create but don't know where to start?

There is a lot more to photography than simply picking up a camera, pointing it toward something, and tripping the shutter. Achieving a great photograph requires thought and preparation, an understanding of the photographic process, and a firm grasp of how light and composition affect a photo. There must be personal involvement and personal expression. There must be experimentation, with the recognition that only a small percentage of experiments end successfully. In this revised and expanded second edition of The Essence of Photography, best-selling author and world-renowned photographer and teacher Bruce Barnbaum explores these seldom-discussed issues by drawing upon his personal experiences and observations from 50 years of photographing and teaching. In addition to photographs, Bruce also uses painting, music, and writing, as well as the sciences and even business, to provide pertinent examples of creative thinking. These examples serve as stepping stones that will lead you to your own heightened ability to see and be creative. Creativity is a topic that is almost wholly ignored in formal education because most instructors think that it cannot be taught or learned. To the contrary, Bruce has proven that photographic seeing and creativity can be taught, learned, and improved. This book expands on the ideas that are central to Bruce's method of teaching photography, which he has used in workshops for the past 50 years. Included in the book are in-depth discussions on the following topics: -Defining your own unique rhythm and approach as a photographer -How to translate the scene in front of you to the final photograph -The differences and similarities between how an amateur and a professional approach photography -The differences between realism and abstraction, and the possibilities and limitations of each -Learning to expand your own seeing and creativity through classes, workshops, and associating with other photographers -Why the rules of composition should be ignored -How to follow your passion -When to listen to the critics and when to ignore them The book is richly illustrated with well over 100 photographs taken by Bruce as well as other photographers. Seeing and creativity are difficult to teach, but not impossible. This very different, perhaps groundbreaking book is sure to inspire photographers of all skill levels--from beginners to seasoned professionals--to think deeply about the issues involved in creating successful photographs.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303431647605,"sku":"9781681986357","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781681986357_6061297c-4e87-4519-a236-8355335b0fe8.jpg?v=1786024755"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/publisher-rocky-nook.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
