John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and 1x.com announce the availability of Photo
Inspiration: Secrets Behind Stunning Images (Wiley, 978-1-1182-9052-1,
May 2012), a unique book that presents readers with inspiring
photographs as well as underlying techniques to help improve their
photography skills. For this new guide, 1x.com worked with their most
talented photographers to handpick 100 awe-inspiring photographs and
provide the back-story and photographer’s secrets that helped capture
the image.
“Unlike many other how-to books, Photo Inspiration does not include
test-shots; it includes beautiful works of art selected by a team of
professional curators,” said 1x.com. “The best camera doesn't take the
best photos, while a skilled photographer can take extraordinary photos
with any camera. We made this book because we believe that everyone has
a huge inner potential, just waiting to be unlocked. We think that the
best way to learn is to gather the wisdom of successful photographers,
with practical advice and hints how to take specific photos instead of
abstract theoretical knowledge that is hard to apply. With dedication
and inspiration, we believe that anyone can become a photography artist.”
Photo Inspiration provides a unique combination of the final photograph
with the tools and knowledge that made the shot possible. The book
offers concise and accessible descriptions, as told by the
photographers, for the ideas, vision, performance, setup, location,
equipment, camera settings, lighting diagrams, and image editing methods
needed to capture each amazing photo featured in the book.
Photo Inspiration: Secrets Behind Stunning Images is now available for
purchase online and at retailers nationwide in both print and all e-book
formats. For a full list of retailers, visit www.wiley.com/buy/9781118290521.
