See the gallery above for a few examples of image possibilities that go beyond the ordinary.

Barrie Smith - Book Review  "This is without doubt the most inspiring book on photographic image making that I have ever come across. Simply spectacular!"

Martin Gibson - Book Review  "As you can see these chapter areas could be considered pretty advanced but don’t be deterred the book doesn’t get technical it rather gives simple to understand overviews of these topic areas which you can then pick and choose for further study. … … The page size is nice and large exploiting the sample shots and so is the colloquial text making it easily digestible. …the concepts being communicated clearly making the book suitable for all ages and for all skill levels… Rethinking Digital Photography … was made to inspire creatives to search for different techniques and media to express our age-old visual requirements."

Photography can be so much more than what you might think it to be.

My book would make a great holiday gift for anyone interested in playful and creative photographic techniques.

The Gallery above shows images that were created using just a few of the playful techniques detailed in the book as well as images that were inspired by it.
