The Book
My second book, Mastering Photographic Composition, Creativity and Personal Style, is available. The print quality is beautiful and the text is illustrated with numerous photographs, many of them never published before in print. There are over 350 photographs and illustrations in the book.

The book is 370 pages long. This is 125 pages more than my first book which is 245 pages long. The layout is professionally done. I am naturally "picky" but I must say I have found nothing to object to in the layout, the printing or any other aspect of the book.

To celebrate the publication of this important work I am offering the book in both a Companion Print set and a Master Print Set. These sets, which you can see below, consist of the book, plus a Fine Art print plus the Master Files (Master Print Set only) and more (see the detailed list below).

The photograph I selected for this unique offer, Dancing Light, is the book cover image. This will allow you to compare the book print quality to the fine art print quality. Together, the book and the print form a beautiful Set that you will enjoy for years to come and that you will be proud and display.

Testimonials

Hi Alain,

I'm a student of landscape photography from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I just finished reading Photographic composition, creativity and personal style for the second time.
Love the book it is great I also enjoyed the first one a lot.

The chapter "Just say yes" helped me a lot. I've been confronted and even bullied around by some fellow photographers that claim that altering a landscape is not photography, they called my pictures "digital collages", "experiments" and even suggested that I can't enter competitions but on a special category. I realize now that arguing doesn't make any sense, I will just present my work and if asked about changing some things I will just say "Yes".

I'm the admin of a spanish spoken forum for latin american photographers, I wonder if you can concede us an email interview about the subject of creativity, landscape and the dreaded manipulations question in landscape photography. A debate would be awesome but I don't know if you have time for that because it would need to go back and forth with questions and reply.

Cheers from Buenos Aires,
A fellow student and reader
Luis

About Companion Prints:
Matted Companion Prints are valued at $175 each. They are not sold individually. They are only available in combination with books, tutorials, DVDs and other major projects.
Companion prints are presented in 8x10 museum quality matting. Companion prints are released in an open edition and are printed on Ilford Gold Fibre paper on Epson 4880 running under ImagePrint using Epson inks.

Companion Prints are printed, curated, matted and packaged to museum standards, the same standards we follow for all my work.

By purchasing a Companion print set during this special offer, you save over $100 compared to buying the Print + Book + Shipping at full price.
By purchasing both books and both companion prints set, you save over $250 compared to buying the Prints + Books + Shipping at full price!


About Master Prints:

Matted Master Prints are valued at $395 in the Print of the Month Collection and at $595 when not part of the Print of the Month collection.
Master prints are presented in 16x20 museum quality matting. The Master Print in this offer is released in an edition of 100 copies. Each print carries a special label and marking clearly indicating that this is a unique, limited edition print.

Since I do not normally number prints unless they are part of a portfolio, this print is an exception and a rarity in itself.
Master prints are not usually released in limited editions, making this Master Print uniquely collectible and rare. This limited edition release is only available during this special offer. We expect it to sell out quickly because of its rarity.

Master Print Sets include the Master File for Dancing Light, and also for Playa Reflections if you order both books during this special offer. Master Files allow you to see exactly how I created the final print file, including all the adjustments, contrast, color, and enhancement layers. Having the Master Files lets you see exacly how I prepared each photograph for printing and gives you the opportunity to study each adjustment layer as if you were looking over my shoulder while I work. These adjustment layers can be used on your own photographs, thereby providing a shortcut to success and saving you hours of trial and error. Master files are valued at $75 each. They are not sold individually.

The paper I selected for these prints is Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 gr, my favorite paper at this time. The prints are done on my Epson 4880 running under ImagePrint using Epson inks. The print quality is stunning.

Master Prints are printed, curated, matted and packaged to museum standards, the same standards we
follow for all my work.

By purchasing a Master Print set during this
special offer you save over $130 compared to buying the Print + Book + Shipping at full price
