17. |  L'âme du photographe: Comment donner un sens à vos images By: David duChemin Publisher: Pearson France Publication Date: 20-NOV-2009 Insert Date: 17-JUN-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: L'âme du photographe: Comment donner un sens à vos images
Les images les plus fascinantes sont celles qui, de façon claire et intentionnelle, expriment la vision d'un photographe, communiquent une émotion et racontent une histoire.

Une photographie doit également raconter une histoire. David duChemin dispense dans cet ouvrage de précieux conseils pour...

Dans cet ouvrage, David duChemin partage une approche très personnelle de la photographie et de la postproduction. Une photo n'est pas finie parce qu'elle est techniquement parfaite.

Les logiciels de postproduction peuvent nous aider à souligner ce message. Ils ne servent pas seulement à développer le potentiel graphique d'une image, ils doivent souligner l'intention du photographe.
Au travers de l'étude d'une vingtaine de cas pratiques, David...
