Get close, take bad pictures, blur is your friend, use natural light, don't delete, be selective, stare – every photographer works by their own rules.

Covering all aspects of photography – from making photographs, to being a photographer and professional practice – this book combines inspiration with practical tips you can experiment with. 

With succinct, accessible and engaging entries and expert advice from the author – readers can either dip in at random or read religiously. This book will provide endless inspiration for students, amateurs and professional photographers al

“Paul Lowe has assembled a collection of thoughts, ideas, principles, guidelines, maxims and advice from a wide range of outstanding photographers… There's an abundance of thoughts to stimulate and inspire….  A bonus of the book is the inclusion of superb pictures by a large number of B&W photographers… Although some pictures will be familiar, it's always a pleasure to see them again and a delight when discovering someone new.”
