Bryan Peterson Photography School: A Master Class in Creating Outstanding Images

A graduate of numerous of Bryan’s classes, this is an excellent book for opening my eyes to techniques I had learned from him years ago and had forgotten. My photography will be significantly better for having read this book. A truly excellent read.

As a new photographer, I got a lot of great info from this book. The lack of proofreading was very distracting though. I still loved the book and ordered another of Byan Peterson's books.

This guy knows his stuff. I've learned so much from all his books. If you're learning definitely start with Bryan Peterson. He makes it so easy to understand and the tips he gives has made some of my photos look professional.

I really liked this book, it's the first one I've ever seen where the author puts two photos side by side to compare them and teach you about camera settings, composition, and such. The only problem is, the photo with the mistakes in it is always smaller than the photo where the problems have been fixed, so quite often it's difficult to compare the qualities of the two photos.

This is one of those rare books that you gives you a first-hand perspective on what it takes to improve your craft. What worked for me was to take the time to study the “before” photographs, think through what I would have done different and then looking at the “after” version with author’s comments - it has been a truly learning experience. Literally.

Teaching you patience and perseverance is rewarded in photography. The right shot is always there, and by waiting it may reveal itself. The book also enabled me to review my technical understanding of my camera such as how to address scenes with many stops of light difference between the foreground and background, or how the camera’s meter will underexpose for whites since it’s trying to make it 18% gray or overexposed for darks for a similar reason. Most importantly, the book inspires me to think through each composition as film photographers did, valuing they were using film and it was a valuable commodity. And, develop the mindset of capturing what you want in-camera and not rely on post tools to add or takeaway. .

Another great book from Bryan Peterson. I like the comparison photos that made the observations easier to understand. I read some of the complaints about his attitude, but if he is to teach, he must be critical and point out how to improve, if not what's the point.

Bryan Peterson is a fantastic photographer and instructor. This book touches on many of the subjects of his other books. If you are a beginner or getting back into photography, this book will serve you well and if you want a more comprehensive instruction on any of the subjects covered, you should buy his book that covers the subject you wish to understand better.

Initial Impressions: Great quality printing on good quality paper. I will update this review after reading the whole book.

This is my fifth book from Bryan Peterson and it is truly a masterclass. Great book. I have learned a few tricks. The book also looks brand new.

If you are starting out this is perfect.

英語の本です。ブライアン・ピーターソンさんは知る限り、カメラの機構に基づいて写真を考えている最先端にいるトップフォトグラファーの一人です。その人が何を考えているか知ることができます。作例作品に従って文を読む形です。なのでカメラや機材の画像や説明画像はありません。作品に沿って考えてということだと思います。個人的に最も尊敬するフォトグラファーです。

Good writer
