Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Image sharpness is one of photographyâs yin/yang propositions. Soft focus can impair a photograph, but just as readily enhance it. Blurs and soft zones function like shadows and highlights; they minimize certain details in the image and redirect a viewerâs attention within the frame. ÂLike the rest stops in a piece of music,â writes author Jim Cornfield, Âcreatively manipulated softness can empower a photographâs impact.â
There are countless ways to selectively modulate sharpness in an image. This veteran commercial photographer reveals his personal choices for using soft focus. ÂItâs not just eye candy,â he writes, Âit can also add great depth and meaning to an image.â
Readers learn the background of soft-focus photography, historical and technical-- the use of spherical aberration, circles of confusion, and bokeh. More importantly, the book reveals a wealth of image manipulation techniques for creating amazing, evocative effects both in camera and in the digital darkroom. Included; a bonus chapter featuring the work of three noted contemporary fine art shooters who use soft-focus and diffusion with stunning, gallery quality results. Itâs great inspiration for readers to augment their photographic repertoires, their artistic personas and their client lists.
