商品描述

THE FIRST BOOK WITH ONE FOOT ON THE COFFEE TABLE, AND ONE FOOT IN THE
CLASSROOM
Joe McNally, one of the world’s top pro digital photographers, whose celebrated work has graced the pages of Sports Illustrated, Time, and National Geographic (to name a few), breaks new ground by doing something no photography book has ever done—blending the rich, stunning images and elegant layout of a coffee-table book with the invaluable training, no-nonsense insights, and photography secrets usually found only in those rare, best-of-breed educational books.

When Joe’s not on assignment for the biggest-name magazines and Fortune 500 clients, he’s in the classroom teaching location lighting, environmental portraiture, and how to “get the shot” at workshops around the world. These on-location workshops are usually reserved for a handful of photographers each year, but now you can learn the same techniques that Joe shares in his seminars and lectures in a book that brings Joe’s sessions to life.

What makes the book so unique is the “triangle of learning” where (1) Joe distills the concept down to one brief sentence. It usually starts with something like, “An editor at National Geographic once told me…” and then he shares one of those hard-earned tricks of the trade that you only get from spending a lifetime behind the lens. Then, (2) on the facing page is one of Joe’s brilliant images that perfectly illustrates the technique (you’ll recognize many of his photos from magazine covers). And (3) you get the inside story of how that shot was taken, including which equipment he used (lens, f/stop, lighting, accessories, etc.), along with the challenges that type of project brings, and how to set up a shot like that of your own.

This book also gives you something more. It inspires. It challenges. It informs. But perhaps most importantly, it will help you understand photography and the art of making great photos at a level you never thought possible. This book is packed with those “Ah ha!” moments—those clever insights that make it all come together for you. It brings you that wonderful moment when it suddenly all makes sense—that “moment it clicks.”

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是第一本一腳踏在咖啡桌上,一腳踏進教室的書籍。

Joe McNally是世界頂尖的專業數位攝影師之一,他的作品曾經出現在《運動畫刊》、《時代雜誌》和《國家地理雜誌》等刊物的頁面上。他打破了攝影書籍的傳統,將優美的圖像和精緻的版面設計融入到一本咖啡桌書籍中,同時提供價值非凡的培訓、實用見解和攝影秘訣,這些通常只能在那些稀有的頂尖教育書籍中找到。

當Joe不為知名雜誌和財富500強客戶執行任務時,他就在教室裡教授外景燈光、環境肖像和如何在世界各地的研討會上「拍攝」。這些外景研討會通常只開放給每年少數攝影師,但現在你可以在這本書中學習到Joe在他的研討會和講座中分享的相同技巧,讓Joe的課程活靈活現地呈現在書中。

這本書的獨特之處在於「學習三角」,其中(1) Joe將概念縮短成一個簡短的句子。通常是以「國家地理雜誌的編輯曾告訴我...」開始,然後他分享一個攝影界中只有透過多年鏡頭後方經驗才能獲得的訣竅。接著,(2) 在對頁上是Joe的一張精彩圖像,完美地展示了該技巧(你會認出他的許多雜誌封面照片)。最後,(3) 你將獲得拍攝該照片的內幕故事,包括他使用的設備(鏡頭、光圈、燈光、配件等),以及這類項目帶來的挑戰,以及如何自己設置一個類似的場景。

這本書還帶給你更多。它激發靈感,挑戰你,提供資訊。但或許最重要的是,它將幫助你以一種你從未想過的水平理解攝影和製作出優秀照片的藝術。這本書充滿了那些「啊哈!」的時刻,那些巧妙的見解,讓一切都為你串聯起來。它帶給你那個美妙的時刻,當一切突然變得清晰明了時,那個「點擊的瞬間」。
