There has never been a time in our hobby’s history when we’ve had so much information. In addition, the information is delivered through much more useful vehicles. We have blogs, forums, digital photography, and, of vital importance, video. There are literally tens of thousands of pages of information just a button click away. Sounds great, right? Actually, not entirely. There’s a crucial piece missing, and that’s the subject of this book.
This is a book about identifying and prioritizing the core skills that produce maximum visual impact. It’s about learning the key skills and subjects that matter the most and focusing your efforts there. It’s also a book about what “not” to do. I call them land mines.
For all of the “how to” information we have, the aspects that contribute the most, color strategy and composition, are rarely, if ever covered. The book addresses that major shortfall as well.
The first draft is done, and I’ve completed one editing pass. I hope to have it done within the next six weeks.
