Book Description
Lessons I Didn¿t Learn In Photo School opens up new territory in photography. As our world becomes increasingly cluttered with cameras, there are fewer people who truly know what it means to be a photographer. LIDLIPS presents thought-provoking insights on photography as art, philosophy, science, business, and lifestyle.This collection of 100 micro-essays discusses photography from angles you¿ve likely never considered. LIDLIPS explores themes, such as: relationships, creativity, vision, and persistence. In a unique voice, that is both relevant and concise, LIDLIPS proves that there is much more to crafting great photographs than knowing how to operate a camera.Author Syl Arena (of PixSylated.com) spent many years in photo school¿eventually earning a BFA in fine art photography. Yet, the most important lessons he learned about being a photographer, he learned by being a father, husband, business owner, mentor, and artist. Photography, it turns out, has more to do with who you are as a person than with the brand of gear you use.Amateur or pro, LIDLIPS will expand your understanding of photography and inspire you to create images in ways you never imagined.Here¿s a sampling: #1 ¿ If you can¿t be remarkable, be memorable.#32 ¿ Be open to your camera capturing realities you did not see.#46 ¿ Creativity comes as a breeze before it comes as a gale.#68 ¿ Making yourself vulnerable is a sign of strength.#77 ¿ Play photography like a team sport.#92 ¿ The exotic is easy. The common is hard.
