Description
In Photo Impressionism and the Subjective Image the authors show how photographs can be used to alter physical reality to express the photographer's personal response to specific subject matter. The "impressionist" photographer deliberately abandons physical exactitude to convey the reality of feelings more effectively. This book explains how to venture into the non-literal world of photography to create and record impressions that express emotion, feelings and spirit. The first part of the book includes instructional topics such as: Multiple exposures Montages Subtle and vibrant colors Selective focus, exposure and speed Creative image transfer techniques Trends and film choices. The second part is a gallery of photographs taken around the world with extensive captions that explain the authors' personal approaches to photography.

PhotoImpressionism and the Subjective Image
Primarily a stimulus for analogue film camera users, but an excellent book. There are photo examples on almost every other page, and the inspiration and methodology is well explained. It is written in easy to understand language without the 'pseudo' self-justifying speak that is merely an ego-trip for the author. This book has none of that - just how it was seen; how the theme developed; how it was finalised. Consequently, an able digital photographer should be able to translate the techniques with ease.

Not as good as expected, but still worth reading
I expected it to be a bit more advanced and innovative. Well, over 10 years (copy right 2001) appears to be a lot not only in technology but in methods and creativity as well. Anyway, still worth reading - can teach you a bit

Gorgeous Book with Great Projects
The photos are fantastic and very inspirational. It's well laid out and easy to follow the theory. I'll be buying more of Patterson's books.

Excellent book
Like all of Freeman Patterson's instruction books this is a wonderful book for anyone who wants to expand their photography. It is not about technology and how to use camera features, but about creating subjective images.
