Why this book?
I have been taking photographs since I was a child and down through the years
I have had many different cameras including my first love, an old Zenith B SLR
camera which weighed a ton but opened up new creative possibilities to me.
I am now mostly digital although I do have a Mamiya RB67, a medium-format
film camera which takes great studio shots.
I was initially self-taught and read everything I could find on aperture,
depth-of-field and so on. Street photography and art photography in
particular interested me the most and over time I began to sell my work, through
exhibitions and various publications, and I was also offered several
opportunities as photographer-in-residence which gave me the chance to
create work in a new environment without the pressure of selling. To cut a long story short, this eventually
led me to study for an MA in Internationl Photojournalism, Travel & Social Documentary Photography.
I have also led workshops and courses, and taught one-to-one - and I've always loved the teaching aspect of my work. I
get great satisfaction out of communicating technical subjects in a clear, easy
to understand way and derive pleasure from knowing that my knowledge has benefited someone else.
| Anne writes in such a clear way
and the book includes so many tips and techniques
...If you follow even just a few of her suggestions you are bound to expand your
knowledge and discover new ways of looking. |

All this led me to set up a website and put together this Creative Guide to Photography in which my
skills as a photographer and teacher are brought together. The tips and techniques are illustrated with over
70 photographs, most of them in colour and all high resolution. Some images are my own but you will also
find great photos by a wide variety of other photographers.
There is a wealth of information on my website and this book is derived from the best of the tips and techniques sections.
I have collated this information as a downloadable eBook for viewing directly on your computer or eBook reader or for printing out
as an A4 booklet for your convenience and ease of use, and at a very affordable price. The eBook is fully indexed so you can look
things up easily then just click the link and go directly to that page. There is also a full table of contents at the beginning.
If you scroll further down the page you can see what is in store for you.
I really do hope that you find the experience of reading the book enjoyable but even more
importantly I hope you find it inspires you to try out new things, look at the world in a new way, and create amazing
shots that you will still look at in years to come and say: I really like that!
