I spend a lot of time talking about photography gear in my newsletters, blogs, and workshops. People are always interested in learning how to get the most out of their cameras or which lenses to use. Gear is an important part of our photography, but improving our creative skills is of equal or greater importance. For many people, figuring out how tto improve their creative skills can be extremely difficult, so they keep pushing them under the rug. For these folks, it can be much easier to buy a new lens than to diligently work at becoming a better photographer.
Personally, I don't have any desire to be a "good" photographer; I want to be a great photographer. I'm always looking for ways that push me to the next level and Steve Simon's new book titled, The Passionate Photographer, Ten Steps Toward Becoming Great provides a well designed path to great photography.
Steve wrote The Passionate Photographer to inspire us to take a critical look at our own work and then use that knowledge as a foundation for growth. His book helps us take our passion for photography and translate it into strong images through ten specific actions that range from assessing your skills, improving composition, following the light to increasing your shooting volume and sharing your images.
Warning: Following Steve's plan will not be easy. If you seriously embark down the path of the ten steps, you'll spend a significant amount of time working on your craft. These ten steps aren't for the faint of heart or the semi-committed. Steve wants you to get serious in order take your photography to the next level and his book is dedicated to help you get there.
Every chapter is richly illustrated with Steve's own photography from his journalistic and editorial career.
