Photo Quest - Discovering Your Photographic and Artistic Voice is now available on Amazon as both an e-book and paperback. If you are in search of becoming a more creative photographer, and not just searching for ways of taking better pictures (there is a big difference), you have come to the right place . . . because we all need to find our creative and artistic voice.
Like my book Photo Therapy, Photo Quest includes only words of wisdom, motivation and inspiration. There are no photographs in this timely book.
There are two reasons for not including photographs: One, I want you to slow down and read the text carefully; Two, I want you to think about your photography and art when you are reading about an idea or technique – and not be distracted by my colorful images.
What’s especially cool, and of course educational, about this book is that I have assembled an all-star team of photo and creative mentors that offer advice and insight on finding one’s photographic and artist voice. You’d be hard pressed to find this much talent between the covers of one photography book.
This list of contributors reads like a “Who’s Who” in the world of photography in 2020. These pros include Erin Babnick, Martin Baily, Richard Bernabe (who wrote a heart-felt Foreword), Steve Brazill, Jeff Cable, Tony Corbell, Alec Arons, Patricia Davidson, Dave DeBaermaeker, Ron Clifford, Ed Cooley, Unmsh Dinda, Frank Doorhof, Piper Mackay, Scott Kelby, Karen Hutton, Don Komarechka, Ian Plant, Trey Ratcliff, Art Wolfe – and more!
FYI: I got the idea for the All-Star Photo Mentors after seeing Ring Starr and his All-Starr Band.
On these pages you will learn about (in chapter titles of the same name): Finding Your Superpower and Inner Voice, Your Secret Weapon, Idea to Image, Specializing or Not Specializing, The Rollercoaster Ride of Creatives, The Importance of Your Conversation, Changing Lanes, Creating a Sense of Mystery, Photography & The Death of Reality, Know Your Audience & Build Your Brand – and more.
Each of the 22 chapters in the book ends with a Mission – an assignment – that will help you on your personal photo quest, which I feel will be one of the most rewarding adventures in your photographic and artistic life.
This book is also filled with dozens of inspirational quotes relating to photographs and all artists. Here is one of my favorites: An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one. – Charles CooleyPhoto Quest - Discovering Your Photographic and Artistic Voice
