One of the most popular cameras on the market is called the “Digital Rebel,” yet many photographers use it and its brethren following tired old rules from tired old photographers.

If you’re just starting out with a camera, or are starting to think about switching away from “auto,” this is the perfect book for you. Not only will you find within all the classical “rules”-useful basic knowledge that can sharpen anyone’s eye for great photography-but you’ll simultaneously be shown how you can push the boundaries that many teachers erroneously set, filling your memory card with exciting, different pictures every time. This book brings the aspirational photography seen by so many in books or on Flickr within reach of everyone.

CHANGING DIRECTION
Changing Direction: A Practical Approach to Directing Actors in Film and Theatre
Foreword by Ang Lee
By Lenore DeKoven
Foreword by Ang Lee
© 2006 – Focal Press
216 pages
The approach presented in this book, honed after years of on-set experience and from teaching at UCLA, NYU, and Columbia, and endorsed by many in the industry, including director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and producer/actor Edward Asner, aims to provide a helpful reference and resource for directors and actors alike. It combines underlying theory with dozens of exercises designed to reveal the actor’s craft. There is material on constructing the throughline, analyzing the script, character needs; the casting and rehearsal processes, film vs. theater procedures as well as the actor and the camera.
Distilling difficult concepts and a complex task to their simplest form, the author explains how to accurately capture and portray human behavior. The author’s discussion of creative problems she has encountered or anticipated after years of experience, and her suggested solutions and exercises, are immediately useful. Additionally, hear what the actors have to say in excerpts from interviews with acclaimed actors such as Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Glenn Close, Robert Redford, Christopher Walken, Julianne Moore, and Michael Douglas (to name a few) who discuss their work with directors, what inspires them, and what they really want from the director.

Ultimately responsible for the creative content on screen, directors are the captains of the ship on every film. All actors and heads of department report to them. Some directors are also writers, employing unique styles of dialogue. Others,
like Pedro Almodóvar, create inimitable visual and tonal styles that set their films apart from the crowd. Unlike the other volumes in the series, Directing covers all disciplines of film art that pass through the director’s hands, from development and writing, to working with actors, designers and cinematographers, to post-production and distribution.
