Learn to ask better, more helpful questions of your work so that you can create stronger and more powerful photographs.

Photographers often look at an image—one they’ve either already created or are in the process of making—and ask themselves a simple question: “Is this a good photograph?” It’s an understandable question, but it’s really not very helpful. How are you supposed to answer that? What does “good” even mean? Is it the same for everyone?

What if you were equipped to ask better, more constructive questions of your work so that you could think more intentionally and creatively, and in doing so, bring more specific action and vision to the act of creating photographs? What if asking stronger questions allowed you to establish a more effective approach to your image-making? In The Heart of the Photograph: 100 Questions for Making Stronger, More Expressive Photographs, photographer and author David duChemin helps you learn to ask better questions of your work in order to craft more successful photographs—photographs that express and connect, photographs that are strong and, above all, photographs that are truly yours.

From the big-picture questions—What do I want this image to accomplish?—to the more detail-oriented questions that help you get there—What is the light doing? Where do the lines lead? What can I do about it?—David walks you through his thought process so that you can establish your own. Along the way, he discusses the building blocks from which compelling photographs are made, such as gesture, balance, scale, contrast, perspective, story, memory, symbolism, and much more. The Heart of the Photograph is not a theoretical book. It is a practical and useful book that equips you to think more intentionally as a photographer and empowers you to ask more helpful questions of you and your work, so that you can produce images that are not only better than “good,” but as powerful and authentic as you hope them to be.

Index

Adapting the monastic practice of "lectio divina" (sacred reading) into a form of "visio divina" (sacred seeing), spiritual director and Benedictine oblate Paintner invites readers to a new way of viewing the world through the lens of a camera.
Berger reveals the ties between love and absence, the ways poetry endows language with the assurance of prayer, and the tensions between the forward movement of sexuality and the steady backward tug of time. He recreates the mysterious forces at work in a Rembrandt painting, transcribes the sensorial experience of viewing lilacs at dusk, and explores the meaning of home to early man and to the hundreds of thousands of displaced people in our cities today. And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos is a seamless fusion of the political and personal.
"Taking its name from a line in the Wallace Stevens' poem "The Gray Room," Alec Soth's latest book is a lyrical exploration of the limitations of photographic representation. While these large-format color photographs are made all over the world, they aren't about any particular place or population. By a process of intimate and often extended engagement, Soth's portraits and images of his subject's surroundings involve an enquiry into the extent to which a photographic likeness can depict more than the outer surface of an individual, and perhaps even plumb the depths of something unknowable about both the sitter and the photographer"--The publisher.
Out of my hopelessness and desperation, I realized I couldn't go on living with this terrible pain that had taken over my life. I needed help, but I didn't know who could help me deal with this grief I was going through. I knew I couldn't do it in my own strength, and it had to be someone much stronger than me. It had to be someone who could understand and know the pain in my heart. I found that someone who took away this pain that was choking the life out of me. I found strength in his loving arms. Without Him, I could not have made it on my own. He knew what I was going through because He could feel my pain. This is my story about my grief journey and how someone rescued me from my grief. He gave me so much of Himself that the only way I could share it with you is to take you through the 'Photos of The Heart." I was born August 2, 1949 in Gadsden, Alabama. While attending college, I met the most wonderful woman, my beloved future wife, and we were married 34 years. We have three sons, a daughter-in-law, and five grandkids, whom I love dearly. I don't have a long list of books that I have written to convince you to read this book. But I do have backing from the greatest author who ever was, is and will ever be: God. I have written in this book what He gave me, and since this is His book, all royalties will go to Him. My heartfelt prayer is that when you read this book, you will see God's wonderful love and see He is waiting for you to give Him your grief.
Pictures are our frozen moments to remember all sweet bitter memories ever lived, we forget sometimes but these coloured pieces of paper or chip cards in our phones remind us, make us to relive past. In this book 30 master poets writen their soul out about what they feel for pictures, selfies and memories.
