Synopsis

"In a world where everyone is a photographer now, how do you stand out? The answer can be found in this simple but profound book. It will train your eye to see what others don't" – David Hieatt, author & founder

This isn’t a book about how to take the best pictures. It’s not even about the technical aspects of photography or how to "make it" as a photographer. In fact, it argues that you should take fewer photographs.

In Do Photo, Andrew Paynter shares 10 practices – honed over a lifetime spent behind the lens with clients such as Adidas, Levi Strauss and Apple – to help you develop a more considered approach to photography. You will:

• Use the camera to really connect with subjects
• Create memorable and more impactful photographs
• Observe light and how it affects space and structure

Full of tips, prompts and rich imagery Do Photo teaches novice, intermediate and advanced photographers – and everyone in between – how to craft pictures with care. And guess what? It all starts before you even pick up the camera.

Preface by artist Geoff McFetridge.
