From Basics to Fine Art – Book Review by Martin Wolfert

From Basics to Fine Art – Book Review by Martin Wolfert (German)

Another review of the book From Basics to Fine Art – Black and White Photography, that I wrote together with Joel Tjintjelaar, has been recently published by Martin Wolfert on his blog Lichttrauemer. This time it is a review in German and it will help the German speakers get an idea of what they can read in the book and why Martin concludes:

“From Basics to Fine Art” is a highly recommended book and a standard for digital black and white fine art photography. In my opinion, this book should be in every photographer’s bookcase.”

“George DeWolfe was not exaggerating in his preface. “From Basics to Fine Art” keeps its promises in his preface: in my eyes, “From Basics to Fine Art” by far the best book on photography, which I had the opportunity to read so far.  Julia Anna and Joel have managed to write a terrific book that also appeals to beginners and the experienced photographer.”

Here is where you can read the book review in original on Martin’s site.

You can purchase FROM BASICS TO FINE ART from our webstore.

From Basics to Fine Art – Book Review by Noel Baldewijns

Another great From Basics to Fine Art book review. Only two weeks after its launching, we already had some fantastic reactions and great reviews to the book From Basics to Fine Art by me and Joel Tjintjelaar, thing that pleases us very much and makes us very happy. This means we managed to reach our readers, to help them in searching for their vision in fine art black and white photography and hopefully added a few pieces in the puzzle that is their personal style in black and white photography.

We wrote this book with the hope and the intention for it to be an instrument for all fine art black and white photographers, no matter their background or  where they are, an instrument that will help them find their own voice and learn how to cultivate it, how to Continue reading →
