BOOK – Ibarionex Perello Book: Making Photographs: Developing a Personal Visual Workflow

InMaking Photographs: Developing a Personal Visual WorkflowfromRocky Nook, photographer Ibarionex Perello teaches you to overcome two of the biggest challenges for a photographer: to consistently see the photographic possibilities all around you and to continually make images of that world.

Presented here in an easy-to-follow format, Perello shows you how to develop and implement a repeatable visual workflow for your photography that revolves around four visual topics: light and shadow, line and shape, color, and gesture. As each of these subjects is explored in detail, and by better understanding them, you’ll learn to go from merely “looking” at the world around you to “seeing” in detail all the potential photographs available to you. As Ibarionex explains, it is this seeing that gives photography its magic and gives you a vital tool necessary for improving your imagery.

Perello also covers topics such as exposure, composition, preparation, lighting, the role of emotion, image culling, self-assessment, and post-processing. He presents the stories behind his photographs, which reveal his thought process as he works through a scene; shares some of his successes, failures, discoveries, and breakthroughs; and includes assignments and challenges to inspire and motivate you to put these principles into immediate action in your own photography.
