Bruce Barnbaum Knihy

Achieving great photography involves much more than just taking a picture; it requires thoughtful preparation and a deep understanding of the photographic process. Key elements include mastering light and composition, as well as personal involvement and expression. The journey also emphasizes experimentation, acknowledging that only a small fraction of attempts will yield successful results. This approach encourages photographers to engage deeply with their craft, enhancing both skill and creativity.

This is the second of Bruce Barnbaum's Tone Poems books. Once again, solo and trio music was selected to support each opus by mirroring its emotional content.Also included is an introduction by photographer, author, critic, and teacher Bill Jay (1940-2009).Originally published by Photographic Arts Editions, now distributed by Rocky Nook.

Creative, expressive, artistic photography has been the centerpiece from the beginning, and it remains the centerpiece in the new book. It will be a complete book in its technical information and clear explanations, but it all focuses on putting the technical aspects to use for personally expressive purposes. The illustrations include some of Bruce's best known imagery, as well as many new images never previously published or displayed. --from publisher description
