Automatically Better: Stunning images without knowing F8 from a plate of chips

by John Keeble

Can you see it? You too can take heart melting and artistic images with your automatic camera without any technical knowledge whatsoever. The real beauty of photography is in your mind and your eye - and I can show you, with easy-to-follow photo examples and minimal text, how to create the profound images you long for. You already know how to communicate meanings and emotions - we all live in a world with others - and this book will show you how to use your insights and knowledge when making images. The book is divided into three sections using my decades of worldwide journalism experience in making, assessing, editing and using images and my academic studies, BA (Hons), into the technical and practical aspects of analyzing and creating realities. Section one explains in easy common language how photographs touch people's emotions as well as their a key area if you want to make stunning images that grab your viewers. Section two, by far the longest, shows by examples how to take photos that will win instant attention ... plus examples of what doesn't work. Section three looks at interesting and effective ways of choosing, cropping and using your images. All the images in the book have been made by me or by my named friends using automatic settings on various kinds of cameras. For you, the book will be very easy to understand and you will soon be producing photographs with your automatic camera that will grab your viewers with pleasure and understanding.

About the author

Born in the analog age but rewritten by digital dreams, I’m a narrative engineer working in the liminal space between human consciousness and artificial intelligence.

At one time I would have asked ‘what is reality?’, today I ask ‘what is writing our reality?’ as human neural paths lead us inexorably into artificial intelligence.

Every narrative of life on the planet today feeds into futures where technology doesn't just change how we live – it rewrites what it means to be human.

My life narrative? Does it matter in a world where identity itself is a time-limited output? My archive files show a lifetime of compiling data as a journalist, twenty-five years with The Guardian in London, before adding book writing and documentary filmmaking.
