Finally someone has given photographers a truly visual treatment of the craft's core techniques. Step-by-Step Photography Workshop teaches 53 techniques the way photographers were meant to learn, calling sparingly upon explanatory text and instead relying on series of instructional photos and captions.

Acclaimed photographer and frequent workshop leader Adam Jones knows what beginning photographers struggle with most and which techniques, once mastered, will most improve their images. Readers will learn: - Composition basics - Precise, even artistic, exposure - Approaches to natural and urban landscapes - Flash techniques - Macro photography - Action photography

Gallery-quality images run alongside imperfect instructional photos to illustrate processes and explain common mistakes. Step-by-Step Photography Workshop will be the dogeared book photographers toss into their camera bag time and again.
