A Photographer's Playbook - book review



A Photographer's Playbook

Edited by Jason Fulford and Gregory Halpern
Published by Aperture (2014)

As the cover says this is a book of ideas - 307 of them from photographers worldwide. The editors, having had some involvement in teaching, wondered how others gained inspiration, had fun or tested limits, so thought they would ask. This book is the result. It is what I sometimes use when I feel in need of a challenge or inspiration. It doesn't work all the time but there is good advice available.

The page below by Sasha Rudensky uses a quote by novelist Anthony Burgess as the starting point for her challenge.

You can even download as a pdf and try it for free (well for 30 days anyway) here :-
