About this product

Product Information

Photography is a lie. Just think about it: photographers create two-dimensional images that sometimes even lack colour and then expect everyone who views the image to believe that this is how the subject and scene appeared in front of the lens, in real life. What is truly amazing is that people fall for the visual trickery readily, almost as if they want to be deceived. It gets better: people still believe that one can photograph only what is really there. In this book, Irakly Shanidze reveals the smoke and mirrors that the best photographers use to surprise, entertain, and inspire viewers. He explains that the individual features of photographer's perception and technical limitations of his equipment make him do things that may eventually make a picture look very different from how a viewer would see the same scene with a naked eye and can lead to a ruined picture. Conversely, photographers who understand these phenomena can use the aforementioned constraints to deliberately adjust the level of truthfulness in their pictures. In each beautifully illustrated chapter, Shanidze discloses the photographic tools that enterprising photographers can use to create visual deception. In doing so, he describes the image objectives (in other words, defines the image concepts) and introduces the tools needed to achieve them whether a lens of a certain focal length, a light of a specific wattage, or a given shutter speed. He also deconstructs some of his favourite images to show readers how he was able to create a chiselled deception of his own. Armed with this book, photographers will learn to truly take the reins in their photographic pursuits and deliver supercharged, iconic, storytelling images. AUTHOR: Irakly Shandize is an advertising, fashion, and portrait photographer. SELLING POINTS: Readers will learn how to establish depth, mood, emotion, and a sense of place in their two-dimensional images. Readers will learn how to conceptualize strong images, then choose and use the right tools (lighting, depth of field, mood-enhancing lighting, etc.) to create the perfectly executed results they desire. Readers will learn strategies for improving their images in targeted genres from photographing kids to cityscapes to animals indoors and out and with artificial light or natural light.
