ZEN PHOTOART
ZEN PHOTOART is a photography book
with a difference ... put magic into your photography. It's available as an
e-book on the Adobe
Digital Editions platform (Adobe DE is free for both Mac & PC) or as a
hard cover coffee table book.
In the Appendix of the e-book are
details about how the pictures were taken and retouched (check out the last
pages in the reading sample).

EROTIC PHOTOART
For the adventurous among you,
there's EROTIC PHOTOART. Shooting
nudes is a great hobby ... not easy to make money with, though. I'll soon put
my Erotic Photoart book up again ... I'm reviewing it currently (here's a preview).
GOING PRO
Once you have whet your appetite for
photography, you may want to go pro. GOING PRO is
a comprehensive look at what it takes to be a professional photographer. Check

PHILOSOPHY
What is Zen? Zen is not the hype but
being real. Zen gets rid of any superfluous trimmings. Zen is the heart of the
matter … ZEN PHOTOART is the essence of good photography. A Zen principle,
applied to photography, is to learn the rules and master them; then - once they
have become second nature - to forget the rules (make use of them, but be un-conscious
of them).
ZEN PHOTOART is a comprehensive,
easy to read and easy to understand photography book ... learn to make the
magic of photography work for you. You'll gain an understanding of your Digital
Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, of Photoshop and your computer. The book
contains many sample photographs, with detailed descriptions of how they are
achieved … by a photographer with a strong retouching background. ZEN PHOTOART
is about the love of photography, and how to turn it into art. The tools used
are a Canon EOS DSLR and a MacBook Pro with Photoshop; the book is well suited
to the beginner, as well as dedicated amateurs.
ZEN PHOTOART is the first in a
series of books, to get you started. Once you're hooked and want to take your
photography to the next level - where you want to make money woith your passion
- you may want to have a look as to what it takes to be a photographic
assistant. Check out the Assistant's
Bible. It'll give you the faith to be the best assistant you can be. It
may inspire you to go pro ... and - as you already know - I've got just the
book for when you're ready.
ZEN PHOTOART prefers Canon DSLR cameras
