You don't take a photograph. You make it - Ansel Adams

A "snap" is an instant photo that friends and family might take at a backyard birthday party. For a great photograph you will need to plan, build, and execute. Every photo must be aesthetic, communicate something, and be worth the viewers' time. This book will teach you a different way of seeing and understanding the visual world and expressing it.

Travel Photographer Andrew Blyth (BSc, MA) presents his two decades of learning in psychology and photography in this simple, concise, and easy to digest book. He reveals his secrets of how to create authentic-looking scenes, how to direct models (and clients), and how to make even 'boring' scenery 'aesthetic' (beautiful). He demonstrates his ideas with a myriad of examples photographed in Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, and Australia. This book includes inspirational quotes from some of the greatest photographers which will help guide your thinking.
