Nick Kelsh's books on photographing babies and families consistently rank among the top-selling titles in their category. Nick knows how to take great pictures and he can teach anyone - with any kind of camera - to do the same. How to Photograph Your Life features 40 brand-new picture-taking scenarios - the type that fill everyone's photo albums. Whether capturing milestones, such as graduations or weddings, or the random occurrence, such as photographing your garden or a beautiful sunset, Nick shows readers how to make images they can be proud of. Many of these photographic situations might be considered too mundane to grace the pages of a photography book, yet they represent what everyone wants to know: how to take a picture of your dog or cat, how to photograph a day at the beach with your friends, and even how to take a good picture of something you want to sell on E-Bay. Each spread addresses one photo idea, with simple techniques and tips explained using a "predictable amateur photo" compared to the same image improved by professional wisdom. A special 8-page gatefold encompasses "how to photograph a vacation."
New to this book is information geared to those millions of people now using digital point-and-shoot cameras - in fact, the entire book has been photographed using just such a camera, proving that one does not need expensive equipment to take a good picture. Nick Kelsh has always shown a unique understanding of how important photographs of friends and family are to the average person. By following his advice, the reader can take pictures that not only look better, but will also have as much meaning 20 years from now as they do today.
