Creative Photography: Knowledge, Techniques & Skills
Author: Linda Wevill FRPS Format: Instant Download
Transform your photography from Observation to Creation. Learn the art of In-Camera effects and Digital Blending.
Do you ever feel like your camera is just a photocopier, recording exactly what is in front of you but missing the feeling? Creative Photography is about breaking the rules of "correct" photography to create images that look like paintings, dreams, or memories.
The Book: In this comprehensive guide, Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) Linda Wevill opens up her creative toolbox.
Unusually for a photography book, it covers both halves of the creative process:
In-Camera Artistry: How to capture ethereal images before you even touch a computer.
The Digital Canvas: How to use Photoshop not just to fix photos, but to build them using textures and layers.
What You Will Cover:
The Art of Time: Deep dive into Long Exposures, Neutral Density filters, and capturing the movement of the sea.
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM): How to paint with the camera to create abstract, painterly washes of colour.
Creative Optics: Using Macro and Lensbaby lenses to distort reality beautifully.
Photoshop Demystified: A photographer-friendly guide to Layers, Masks, and Blending Modes (without the confusing jargon).
Texture & Mood: How to add texture layers, create pastel High Key effects, and use the Orton Effect for that dreamy glow.
Case Studies: Step-by-step breakdowns of Linda’s famous projects, including Historique Aquitaine.
About the Author: Linda Wevill is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) and serves on the RPS Assessment Panels. Her distinctive, painterly style has been exhibited at the Royal Albert Hall, the National Theatre, and the OXO Gallery in London.
Why this book? If you are tired of sharp, clinical, perfect photographs and want to start making Art, this is your guide. It bridges the gap between the camera bag and the computer screen.
This is a standalone publication, but can also be used in conjunction with the 4-part series which Linda Wevill presented on Camversation, as the content is very closely linked.
