How are you supposed to answer that? What does \"good\" even mean? Is it the same for everyone?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat if you were equipped to ask better, more constructive questions of your work so that you could think more intentionally and creatively, and in doing so, bring more specific action and vision to the act of creating photographs? What if asking stronger questions allowed you to establish a more effective approach to your image-making? In \u003cem\u003eThe Heart of the Photograph: 100 Questions for Making Stronger, More Expressive Photographs\u003c\/em\u003e, photographer and author David duChemin helps you learn to ask better questions of your work in order to craft more successful photographs--photographs that express and connect, photographs that are strong and, above all, photographs that are truly yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the big-picture questions--What do I want this image to accomplish?--to the more detail-oriented questions that help you get there--What is the light doing? Where do the lines lead? What can I do about it?--David walks you through his thought process so that you can establish your own. Along the way, he discusses the building blocks from which compelling photographs are made, such as gesture, balance, scale, contrast, perspective, story, memory, symbolism, and much more. \u003cem\u003eThe Heart of the Photograph\u003c\/em\u003e is not a theoretical book. It is a practical and useful book that equips you to think more intentionally as a photographer and empowers you to ask more helpful questions of you and your work, so that you can produce images that are not only better than \"good,\" but as powerful and authentic as you hope them to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Better Questions\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART ONE: A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Is It Good?\u003cbr\u003e The Audience's Good\u003cbr\u003e The Photographer's Good\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePART TWO: BETTER THAN GOOD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Better Subjects\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePART THREE: BETTER EXPRESSION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exploration and Expression\u003cbr\u003e What Is the Light Doing?\u003cbr\u003e What Does Colour Contribute?\u003cbr\u003e What Role Do the Lines and Shapes Play?\u003cbr\u003e What's Your Point of View?\u003cbr\u003e What Is the Quality of the Moment?\u003cbr\u003e Where Is the Story?\u003cbr\u003e Where Is the Contrast?\u003cbr\u003e What About Balance and Tension?\u003cbr\u003e What Is the Energy?\u003cbr\u003e How Can I Use Space and Scale?\u003cbr\u003e Can I Go Deeper?\u003cbr\u003e What About the Frame?\u003cbr\u003e Do the Elements Repeat?\u003cbr\u003e Harmony\u003cbr\u003e Can I Exclude More?\u003cbr\u003e Where Does the Eye Go?\u003cbr\u003e How Does It Feel?\u003cbr\u003e Where's the Mystery?\u003cbr\u003e Remember When?\u003cbr\u003e Can I Use Symbols?\u003cbr\u003e Am I Being Too Literal?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePART FOUR: BETTER PHOTOGRAPHS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Heart of the Photograph\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.1 x 7.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760226730272,"sku":"9781681985459","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/24b8c83775c7465ce09c3fce4a79a0e4.jpg?v=1780175024","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-heart-of-the-photograph-100-questions-for-making-stronger-more-expressive-photographs-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
