Experimental Digital Photography

by Rick Doble

Thanks to the popularity of digital photography and user-generated Internet content, interest in experimental photographic techniques continues to build. This unique guide helps photographers go beyond the snapshot, flex their creative muscles, and push the boundaries of their art.

Rick Doble presents a wealth of imaginative concepts, from creating ambience through a mix of flash and available light to panning the camera and zooming the lens during an exposure. He explains how to manipulate time and motion in an image, use inventive white balance methods, and “paint” with light in time exposures. There are even original self-portrait techniques.

 Put these procedures in practice and you’ll make photography a riveting, even surreal, art form!

[Sheila Guevin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book for experimenting and perfecting long exposure, light painting, in camera movement, night action and effects of vibrations.

One of the few books I've found that encourages the photography as a digital artist. Creating work that is impactful in its imperfections.

Highly recommend for those photographers that are bored by creating an everyday photograph.
