Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
These four "how-to" books pretty much cover the gamut in landscape photography and portraiture. Each is intended as an introductory manual for amateurs working primarily in the 35mm format. Hope's two books deal explicitly with black-and-white photography. The emphasis is more on style than technique, which is their strength. There are chapters on technique and other practical matters, but the discussions of tone and texture as well as mood will be most helpful to those who wish to make original photographs that reflect an artistic sensibility. The striking design of each book also accentuates a wonderful sense of atmosphere that is tender yet ever so slightly dark and brooding. The author of a number of first-rate books on photography, Hedgecoe concentrates on color photography in his two latest offerings. Both books are filled with many practical and useful tips for making better landscapes and portraits. Each bit of advice is accompanied by photographs that serve as excellent examples of the points he is making. Like Hope's books, Hedgecoe's works are written in a clear, accessible style. Hope's will appeal primarily to those interested in refining their black-and-white photography, while Hedgecoe's will be of greatest value to those who would like to take better photographs for pleasure or business.

Breathtakingly Beautiful!,
By candy2000 (Tempe, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Landscapes: Developing Style in Creative Photography (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful showcase of landscapes through the perceptive eyes of the photographers in their own creative way. The images seem to pull you in to the beauty of our world and how we can forget to take time from our busy lives to really enjoy and take notice of nature around us. How it's changing and how we're changing it. I was especially impressed with the images of Florida taken by Bob Hudak. It was nice to see a deviation from the usual "sunset on the beach" or "theme park" image that is so common to people's idea of the state. His images makes me want to explore the beautiful remote areas of the state. (I'm a nature lover who's never been to Florida.) This is a great reference to anyone interested in landscape photography.

A beautiful, inspiring book,
By
This review is from: Landscapes: Developing Style in Creative Photography (Paperback)
This is an outstanding, inspiring book intended for both newbies and experienced photographers. Although several technical hints are provided for most of the exhibited photos, its major contribution resides, in my opinion, in the excellency of the choosen photos/authors, which carry us for an unusual level of quality. As already stated by another reviewer, this book is NOT about clichés like beatiful sunsets, but rather on the the art of composition and mood capturing.

Beautiful book to own....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Landscapes: Developing Style in Creative Photography (Paperback)
....with photographs of landscapes from around the world, contributed by 16 photographers. Each photo is accompanied by techinical notes and the thoughts that goes behind each photograph. Definitely worth owning it, even if you are not a serious landscape photographer, just the quality of the photos inside is worth it.
