Book description
Shoot to Thrill
“If you’re looking for a fresh, offbeat style, you’ll enjoy this book.” --John Nack
If you’re packin’ heat and a D-SLR, SHOOT TO THRILL is like having a bullet-proof vest. Loaded with tips, dames, laughs, tales of noir, and photos shot from the hip!
HARD TIMES, TOUGH TALK, HARD-BOILED SOLUTIONS
A BOOK TO INSPIRE AMATEURS & PROS ALIKE.
Written in the style of a pulp detective novel, this book goes beyond the mechanics of shooting and teaches us all how to “see” with a fresh vision. Shoot to Thrill teaches creative techniques such as
Achieving dramatic film noir lighting
Getting the ring flash look (the rage in fashion photography)
Experimenting with High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI)
Capturing breaking news, and a lot more
Offers valuable “two-fisted tips” on how to score killer shots—from still life to action.
