Digital Photography Through the Year
Ang is a teacher and photographer who specializes in travel photography. He has produced more than 20 books on photography and video, covering everything from the fundamentals to Erotic Home Photography (2004) to, literally, How to Photograph Absolutely Everything (2007). Here he uses the backdrop of the four seasons to show the beginning to intermediate photographer how to use the tools of lighting, exposure, depth of field, focal length, motion, and subject matter to create eye-popping images of the world around us. In Ang’s hands, ordinary subjects, such as trees, gardens, local wildlife, children, pets, rural and urban landscapes, and even the night sky, become fodder for a whole array of colorful and intimate still lifes, portraits, and captured moments that anyone can emulate with a little practice and honing of technique. Packed with shot after shot, and as much fun to leaf through as to learn from, this photobook answers the question, How did he do that? --David Siegfried
