PHOTOGRAPHS

PHOTOGRAPHS Review



"Seeking the innermost self in her photographs, Kuhn achieves a mood of intimacy by photographing up close models she knows well. Her photographs are a product of lasting relationships built on mutual affection. In a sense, the images are based on the memory of shared experiences." -- Julie Nelson

The people in Mona Kuhn's photographs are nude but not naked. Completely relaxed before the camera, they give the impression that nothing could clothe them better than their own skin. With a unique style, Kuhn's intimate photographs of both young and old are sensual compositions of skin and wrinkles, light and shadow, gestures and gazes. She creates taughtly composed images and balance sharply rendered portraits against blurred backgrounds to lure the eye and provoke the imagination.

How To Take Great Photographs On Any Camera - Extended Edition

How To Take Great Photographs On Any Camera - Extended Edition Review



This book has one very simple purpose – to give you enough knowledge to go out into the world, pick up a camera and begin taking beautiful photographs immediately; irrespective of what equipment you use, whether it is a £5 disposable camera or a £5000 SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera. The book is purposefully short and to the point. You will get instant results with the knowledge gained here. Think of it as being similar to a Cordial. All the knowledge is compacted to a small but thick density and all you need to do is add a little creativity to reap the rewards.

Extended Edition:

Following the success of the original book, Peter has revisited this work and added more useful tips, tricks and chapters to the book to produce this larger, more in-depth read. However, it still remains true to the spirit of the first book in being a very precise study, therefore allowing its readers to enjoy instant results.
