Since Lightroom first launched 18 years ago, Scott Kelby’s The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book has been the world’s #1 top-selling Lightroom book (it has been translated into dozens of different languages), and this latest version is a huge update where Scott shares all his newest techniques, insights, and invaluable tips using his award-winning, plain-English style that makes learning Lightroom easy and fun.

Scott doesn’t just show you which sliders do what (every Lightroom book does that, right?). Instead, he shares his own personal settings, his time-tested techniques, and his proven step-by-step method of learning Lightroom, so you can begin using it like a pro from the start. Each year, he trains thousands of Lightroom users at his live seminars, online conferences, and through his blog at LightroomKillerTips.com, and he has learned firsthand what really works and what doesn’t. He tells you flat-out which techniques work best, which ones to avoid, and why.

You’ll learn:

His SLIM (Simplified Lightroom Image Management) system, which is taught at colleges and universities around the world because it’s so simple and straightforward, as it teaches you step by step how to organize your images, back them up, and be able to find them quickly and easily. How to make your images look like the pros, remove distracting things that are ruining otherwise great photos, and finally “get” the whole image editing thing. You’ll learn exactly what to do, in which order, and why. How to unlock the incredible power of Lightroom’s Masking tools (these are real game changers), including how to “paint with light” and Scott’s top masking tips to take your images to another level. How to use Lightroom along with Photoshop, and how to make the two work together absolutely seamlessly. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll be able to do, even if you’ve never used Photoshop before. How to expand Lightroom’s power to your phone or tablet, so you can organize and edit your images from anywhere.  How to share your images in print and in gorgeous coffee table books, or online, including how to do online client proofing or share images with a group.

You can download many of the same images in the book, so you can follow right along, and you'll get a killer collection of custom Lightroom Develop and Print presets to give you some of the most sought-after looks and effects, all with just one click.

This is the first and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way. There is no faster, more straight-to-the-point, or more fun way to learn Lightroom.

Martin, this reissue contributes new context to and perspective on Kawauchi’s influential work. Extraordinarily poetic, brimming with imagination and sensibility, and following international acclaim, this exquisite ten-year anniversary edition will entice lovers of photography once again.

Most portrait photographers know how to use their camera. Far fewer know how to direct and pose their subjects to create great images.You can nail the light, dial in the settings, and still walk away with shots that don't work. Nine times out of ten, the problem isn't technical; it's the pose. An awkward hand. A shoulder that juts out. An expression that looks stiff instead of natural. These are fixable problems, and this photography posing guide teaches you how to fix them.The Photographer's Guide to Posing by Lindsay Adler-one of the world's top fashion and portrait photographers and a sought-after photography educator-is the most comprehensive posing reference available for portrait photographers. It covers not just what to do, but why it works, so you can adapt in real time rather than memorizing poses that may not suit your subject.What makes this portrait photography book different? Most posing books hand you a catalog of poses to copy. This one teaches you the underlying system. The opening section covers something most posing guides skip entirely: how your camera affects the pose. Lens choice, camera angle, and perspective all change how the body reads in a photograph-and understanding this gives you tools that work no matter who's in front of your lens.What's inside:The 5 most common posing mistakes (poor posture, foreshortening, mergers, poorly posed hands, bad expression) with before/after examples and specific fixes for eachA 10-step posing framework you can apply to any subject and any portrait photography sessionDedicated chapters with guidelines, techniques, and 5 go-to poses for: women, men, couples, curvy subjects, families, boudoir, and maternity"Train Your Eye" exercises in every chapter - so you develop the real-time judgment to catch posing problems before you press the shutterA final chapter walking through complete real-world portrait sessions with 5 different subjects, applying the full system from start to finishThis book is not for photographers looking for a basic pose-by-pose lookup book without the underlying principles (this teaches the system, not just the moves).This book is for you if:You shoot portrait photography of any kind - weddings, families, headshots, boudoir, fashion - and want to stop guessing about posesYour images are technically solid but your subjects don't look as good as they shouldYou want to understand why posing techniques work, not just copy from a book of posesThe Photographer's Guide to Posing has consistently been a bestseller since its publication because it gives portrait photographers what they need: the knowledge and tools to make every subject look their best.

Drawing on over 40 years of practical experience, best-selling author and photographer Michael Freeman examines the most fundamental building-blocks of photography - light and shadow - bringing this key element of the picture-making process into the 21st century.In this book, Freeman takes a new and different view of photography's prime commodity, arguing that for the photographer, the rich and evocative world of shadows is the full equal of the actual light that casts them and bathes scenes. He defines the varied qualities of both light and shadows (of which there are at least ten distinct types), and shows how they have particular meaning and purpose. He also argues for integrating exposure and processing with an appreciation of light and shadow quality so as to have full and subtle control. Armed with this understanding and these techniques, the creative photographer can work with light and shadow to add depth and quality to imagery.- All new content from the master of photography guides- Concise and easy-to-follow format clearly explains the fundamentals of light and shadow - For the first time ever, both light and shadow are given equal weight in the discussion of photographic image-making- Real-life examples, clearly illustrated, cut through the jargon and show the theory of light and shadow in practice

Sebastião Salgado’s photo book classic Workers. An Archaeology of the Industrial Age (first published in 1993) pays tribute to the time-honored tradition of manual labor in the new millennium when machines and computers replace human workers throughout the globe. With images of striking beauty and integrity, Salgado composes a visual elegy for the working men and women, whose indomitable spirit has prevailed over the harshest of conditions to achieve a singular grace.More than those of any other living photographer, Sebastião Salgado’s images of the world’s poor stand in tribute to the human condition. Salgado defines his work as “militant photography”, dedicated to “the best comprehension of human being”; over the decades he has bestowed great dignity on the most isolated and neglected among us — from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America.  With Workers, Salgado brings us a global epic that transcends mere image making to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working men and women. In this volume, three hundred fifty duotone photographs form an archaeological perspective of the activities that have defined hard work from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution to the present. With images of the infernal landscape of an Indonesian sulfur mine, the drama of traditional Sicilian tuna fishing, and the staggering endurance of Brazilian gold miners, Salgado unearths layers of visual information to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of modern civilization.Workers presents its subject on several interactive levels: Salgado’s introductory text, written in collaboration with Brazilian author Eric Nepomuceno, expands his passionate photographic iconography; extended captions, also written by Salgado, provide a historical and factual framework. Honoring the timeless and indomitable spirit of the manual laborer, Workers renders the human condition with honesty and respect.

Early astronomers, drawn to Mars's fiery glow in the night sky, named the planet after their god of war. In the centuries since, Mars has captivated humankind as a source of endless speculation and a beacon of hope for its potential habitability. Through six decades of NASA’s pioneering research missions, the mysteries of the red planet have been gradually uncovered, revealing a world not so unlike our own that likely once supported life.See the earliest close-up images of Mars taken by the Mariner 4 spacecraft in 1965—the first ever captured of another planet—along with historical illustrations from an era when curiosity outpaced scientific progress. Science and art collide as NASA’s later orbiter missions capture aerial views of ancient riverbeds, polar ice caps, dust storms, vast canyons, and towering volcanoes in an endlessly varied landscape. As they traverse Mars’s rugged surface, NASA’s rovers have operated as mechanical extensions of humankind for the past 25 years, drilling holes, searching for traces of water, and marveling at mountain ranges and panoramic sunsets.Through hundreds of cutting-edge photographs from NASA's extensive archives, we join their scientists in the ongoing quest to better understand Mars. Essays by NASA’s former Chief Scientist James L. Green and JPL Chief Engineer Rob Manning provide an in-depth look at the history of Martian exploration and the challenges of preparing for these groundbreaking missions. Captions by planetary scientist Emily Lakdawalla skillfully illuminate each image's content and technical context, and a foreword by renowned poet Nikki Giovanni and an introduction by curator Margaret A. Weitekamp reflect on Mars’s significance in our cultural imagination.From a distant enigma to a tangible frontier whose every grain of sand we can now observe, this volume celebrates the extraordinary progress NASA has made, bringing us closer than ever to understanding our neighboring world.

The first English-language collection of Takuma Nakahira’s influential writings on photography.At the Limits of the Gaze collects the writings of photographer and critic Takuma Nakahira in English for the first time. A crucial figure within the history of Japanese photography, Nakahira is best known outside of Japan as a founding member of Provoke, the experimental magazine of photographs, essays, and poetry, first published in 1968, and for his important photobook For a Language to Come (1970). Throughout a decades-long career, Nakahira raised incisive questions about visual culture and politics in both his photography and his writing. As part of a dynamic moment of artistic and political experimentation in Tokyo, he wrote on a range of topics hardly limited to photography: art, film, journalism, literature, politics, television, and more. Nakahira’s essays brim with urgency, relentlessly interrogating photography’s relationship to power, the connection between language and images, and the gaze. As editors and translators Daniel Abbe and Franz Prichard write, Nakahira’s essays “both suggest doubt about, and possibilities for, a photographically mediated reckoning with the world.”

Track the viewer's eye as it moves throughout the photo to see the optical dynamics held within each frame. And most of all, internalize this graphic language so you can instantly recognise amazing and powerful shots as they appear in your own viewfinder.
