About the author

Librarian note: There is more than one author with this name in the Goodreads database.

Michael Freeman is a professional photographer and author. He wrote more than 100 book titles. He was born in England in 1945, took a Masters in geography at Brasenose College, Oxford University, and then worked in advertising in London for six years. He made the break from there in 1971 to travel up the Amazon with two secondhand cameras, and when Time-Life used many of the pictures extensively in the Amazon volume of their World's Wild Places series, including the cover, they encouraged him to begin a full-time photographic career.

Since then, working for editorial clients that include all the world's major magazines, and notably the Smithsonian Magazine (with which he has had a 30-year association, shooting more than 40 stories), Freeman's reputation has resulted in more than 100 books published. Of these, he is author as well as photographer, and they include more than 40 books on the practice of photography - for this photographic educational work he was awarded the Prix Louis Philippe Clerc by the French Ministry of Culture. He is also responsible for the distance-learning courses on photography at the UK's Open College of the Arts.

101 نکته ی برتر عکاسی دیجیتال/ مایکل فریمن/ ترجمه ی مژگان الماسیان/ 248 صفحه/ نشر افراز/ چاپ چهارم 1393/ تاریخ تموم کردن کتاب: دوشنبه 2 اسفند 1395
دونستن نکاتی که توی این کتاب هست برای هر عکاسی لازمه به نظرم و کتاب حالتِ خودآموز داره و ساده و روون مطالب رو گفته. البته خیلی وارد جزئیات نشده ولی در حدی گفته که آدم بتونه خودش سوالی هم داره جوابشو پیدا کنه. کتاب پر از عکسه و تمامی نکاتی که گفته شده براشون عکس هم آورده که توی فهم مطلب خیلی کمک می کنه. ترجمه ی کتاب هم خوبه. این کتاب نه تا فصل داره که هر کدومشون به موضوعات مختلفی می پردازه (مبانی،نوردهی،رنگ، نکات فنی، ترکیب بندی، چسباندن عکس ها، عکاسی چندفریمی، نورکم، پردازش) . برای من این کتاب واقعا مفید بود و نکات خوبی رو ازش یاد گرفتم... یک سری از نکات هست که آدم به صورت تجربی نمی رسه بهشون و مطالعه لازم دارن؛ این کتاب ازین نکات خوب داره... برای من فصل های ترکیب بندی،چسباندن عکس ها به هم و عکاسی چند فریمی مفید ترین فصل ها بودند و نکات خیلی خوبی یاد گرفتم از این کتاب. کتاب جوری نیست بخونیش و تموم شه بره... برخی نکات رو باید خودت بیشتر پیگیری کنی و عمیق بشی چون این کتاب توی هر موضوعی عمیق نشده. علاوه بر این، نکاتش جوری هست که بعدا نیاز به مطالعه ی دوباره دارن چون زیادن و ممکنه آدم فراموش کنه.
این کتاب برای اونایی که کلاس عکاسی نمیرن و خودشون میخوان یاد بگیرن کتاب مناسبیه (البته نه برای شروع... برای شروع سراغ کتاب ساده تری برن بهتره).

پوریا روشنی

[Fernando Pardo Seco · Rating 5 out of 5]

Este libro me encantó, primero por el estilo del autor, que lo hizo muy ameno. En segundo lugar por el contenido. El autor nos dá una serie de consejos o trucos sobre diversos temas de fotografía, agrupados en 9 bloques temáticos:

1-Conceptos básicos
2- Exposición
3- Color
4- Técnicas
5- Composición
6- Foto panorámica
7- Multi disparo
8- Baja iluminación
9- Procesado

El libro parte de un nivel bajo, aunque no está mal contorlar algunos términos básicos de fotografía. La verdad es que da buenos consejos y saqué en claro varias cosas sobre el mundo de la fotografía.

This wasn't as helpful as I'd hoped. I found a lot of it to be general photography advice, and although it looks aimed at beginners, the tone was one that assumed the reader already had a degree of knowledge of photography and equipment, but if you had that knowledge, it probably lacks the depth you'd need. Cameras and editing software have likely advanced since this was published, too, so a lot of the technical talk about settings might no longer apply.

Very useful

[Oana Cristina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a good resource for those who want to take up photography more seriously. It covers a lot of things about photography and it's a good start.

I recommend to start with this book and after you have a secure base of knowledge, start reading the 'School of Photography' books, based on what you're interested: lighting, compozition, editing or exposure.
