Review: Inspiring & Refreshing - I’ve been a fan of Joel Meyerowitz ever since discovering videos of him on YouTube many years ago. The way he speaks so eloquently about the craft he loves has always inspired me. I’ve probably listened to every interview he’s done that is out there to find. As soon as I received “How I Make Photographs”, I was impressed with the graphic design, layout and even feel of this DVD case-sized book. The cover has an unexpected satin finish to the paper used. Once you get the book home and are able to study the cover image, you start to notice the brilliance of Meyerowitz’ vision and talent that he implemented into this particular capture. So many things happening at once and yet you begin to notice how the various subjects are interacting. This, of course, is one of his M.O.’s. One reviewer mentioned that some of Meyerowitz’ works in this book were cropped considerably from their original form to a detriment. This wasn’t done to too many of the photographs. Even when they were cropped down, usually for a chapter introduction, they were later shown in their entirety on a following page. The interesting way Joel captures moments in a frame, is that often times, there are multiple photographs being captured at once. Meyerowitz’ approach to image creation and the way he describes his methods throughout the book are simple and refreshing. He offers insights to some of his most famous photographs. I found myself studying each image in its printed form as I have mainly only seen these on videos in the past. Some have negatively commented on the printing quality of the images in this book. I feel overall, though, they are printed to a satisfactory level. One thing to keep in mind, we are looking at images captured with technology that wasn’t capable of the tac sharp images we have come to expect today. Famous photographer, Art Wolfe, once said that the more time goes by, the softer his older photographs become. No matter where you are in your journey as a photographer, you’ll enjoy having this book in your collection. At this price point, just go for it.
Review: Great book - A very talented photographer
