Library Journal Review

All creative people get in ruts from time to time. This book aims to help readers find detours around the creative roadblocks that photographers face. Fordham, an accomplished professional photographer, shares 50 of his own personal tricks, tips, hacks, and exercises designed to refresh one's outlook. Sections of this resource include: things to do without a camera that can inspire future projects; breaking some of the most common "rules" of photography to create exciting photos; short project ideas that open up new possibilities; and a section on basics, such as shooting on film, using a pinhole camera, or printing in a darkroom, which many photographers haven't tried in years, if ever. VERDICT This guide is an excellent companion for hobbyist, amateur, or professional photographers looking to perk up their artistic practice. © Copyright 2017.
