Photography secrets from one of the worlds top shooters
The Moment It Clicks
is about how a great magazine photographer makes pictures, about light and lighting on location, and about what makes a picture great. It is also about the photographerÕs need to take better pictures, to show them, and to have people appreciate them.
Joe McNally writes about asking publishers for assignments, and then about being asked to take assignments for magazines including Sports Illustrate, National Geographic and Life. The outstanding pictures in the book are accompanied by the interesting story of how it happened and what made this image great.
This is supposed to be for intermediate photographers. I believe the more professional you are, the more you will get out of it, and at the same time a beginner will find it interesting and inspiring.
Scott Kelby urged Joe McNally to write this book after attending some of his classes. Each lesson contained one sentence, one thought, that the moment it clicked made the whole lesson worth whatever it cost, and suggested the title.
The Moment It Clicks
is a coffee table book and a joy to read. Each story about a photograph contains that one sentence, The Moment It Clicks. Then there are other stories for you t enjoy about being a photographer.
