From Basics to Fine Art – Book Review by Martin Wolfert

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

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.

If you’d like to read the review in English, you can have a look at the translated review at this link or read it in the capture I made below. Continue reading →

This is a recent From Basics to Fine Art Book Review by Antony Northcutt. Anthony is a fine art photographer and instructor who made a great review of the book:

From Basics to Fine Art – Black and White Photography – Architecture & Beyond

….written by me and Joel Tjintjelaar and that we published a couple of months ago. We thank him for that and want to share it with you all, so you can see what a reader who is himself a black and white photographer and educator, thinks about our book.

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.

These great reviews please us very much and make 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 →

Fluid Time III – Two Worlds The third image in m Fluid Time III – Two Worlds
The third image in my 2013 Fluid Time series. This is one of the most interesting buildings in Chicago, the Hancock Center. One of the things I love about this building, in terms of architectural design is that the structural frame of the building is placed exteriorly and not at the interior as usually, and it is visible on the façade. For those who are wondering, this x-braced reinforcement system allows for larger open spaces in the interior of the building which is why it is ideal for an office building like this, and it also allows for rising taller structures. When it was built, in 1965, the Hancock Center was meant to be the second taller building in the world. 
Like all the images in the series, here too, I used the tilt function of the tilt-shift lens, to focus on the relation between the 2 buildings – hence the title: Two Worlds. 
You can find limited edition prints of this and more images at www.juliaannagospodarou.com

Fluid Time II – Utopian Connections Second in my Fluid Time II – Utopian Connections
Second in my 2013 Fluid Time series, this image shows the Prudential Plaza Tower in Chicago, flanked by the Prudential Plaza One building and the Aon Center.
Here I used again the tilt function of the tilt-shift lens, as I did in all the images in this series, to isolate different planes of focus in order to create depth. 
There are three things that you can use to create depth: composition, selective depth of field, and selective work with light. All 3 of them are just as powerful if used right. 
I’m working right now on finalizing a video course about creating B&W photography where I will get into a lot of details about these aspects and many more. If you are interested, keep an eye on this space and I’ll be back with more about it very soon.

Fluid Time I – Parallel Realities One of my favo Fluid Time I – Parallel Realities
One of my favorite series, shot in 2013 in Chicago – one of my favorite cities. In this series, I worked with the tilt function of the tilt-shift lens to create selective focus, a technique that gained traction among fine art photographers after that. Which is one of the reasons why I consider this one of my most important series. I believe what we do becomes even more valuable if we can not only express ourselves through photography, but we can also inspire others.

Wishing a wonderful new year to everyone, filled with much love, peace, and inspiration. 
Yours truly.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! A Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! 
A special Christmas this year, coming after a strange year that was like nothing we knew. Now that this year is almost over, we can start looking with trust and hope to the new year to bring back all the things we missed this year.  Stay safe and enjoy these special days with your loved ones.
Shortly into the new year, I’ll have a nice surprise for you. Something many of you asked for. If you’re curious, you can subscribe to my website and find out http://bit.ly/enV_Subscribe Also, I’ll be back with some holiday offers these days. Stay tuned. 
Trivia: This image is a 10-shot panorama made with the medium format. The resulted image is so large that you can practically print it in any size. It is also so large that Lightroom can’t even show a 1:1 preview, so you can only process it in Photoshop.
