5ive Factors
for
Fantastic Photography

an eBook

AND

a Mini-Course!

 

WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2011    COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

I was on somebody’s roof having a doubt attack. A roofing company had hired me to shoot one of their nicer projects to use in a brochure. I was wondering how I was going to make photos of a roofing job, of all things, that would actually be appealing enough for a compelling marketing piece. I was staring at row after row of shingles. All the same color. All the same size. All in neat rows. This wasn’t going to be nearly as easy to get great shots as a trip to a botanical garden!

Then it hit me: “Hinson, just use the same five principles for fantastic photography that you’ve been teaching your students!” (Duh! Proof that even the guy who “preaches the gospel of  Visually Appealing” can have momentary lapses.)

Too many of us photographers, amateurs and pros alike, use mainly our gut instincts to inform our decisions of what to shoot and how to shoot it. Sometimes that works. Sometimes not. Rolling the dice does not a great photographer make.

LESSON LEARNED: Because the 5ive Factors for Fantastic Photography works even on a mundane roof, which happily happened there, imagine what they can do for YOU and what you like to shoot! (Assuming YOU shoot more interesting stuff!)

the

Mini-Course

Reading, by itself, isn’t enough. 

We don’t truly learn until we apply what we read.

 

A PEEK AT some of THE CONTENTS

  • Five illustrated lessons to augment each factor-principle.
  • Five challenges for you to internalize what you’re learning.
  • Even more photos to boost your understanding of each of the 5ive Factors.

 

  • Feedback – the constructive critique on the author’s own photos – what was done well and “what might have made this one even better.”
  • Enjoy some fun memes!
  • Insightful quotes from other thoughtful photographers
  •  Assignments designed to stretch you a little or a lot. Your choice.

GUT INSTINCTS ALONE ARE UNRELIABLE

Shooting mainly by intuition won’t cut it consistently. It is literally guesswork, and the results are too often not what we’d hoped for. As artists, we need good instincts, sure, but we need firmer, more reliable guides for our work, too. In this digital world where pixels are cheap and it seems like the rule is to just “shoot and hope,” are there really dependable, scientifically proven principles we can use to create consistently superior images?

Funny you should ask! It’s the same question I began asking back in the “Film Age” and went digging deep to find out if maybe there was an answer. What I came up with was amazing. After quite a bit of unpacking I’ve boiled it all down to what is now known as the 5ive Factors for Fantastic Photography.

SNAPSHOTS FROM THE eBOOK…

  • “Trust your heart (instincts) but trust your head (reason) even more. Your heart will show you what to shoot but your head will tell you how to shoot it.”
  • “As your reasoning improves so will your instincts.”
  • “There’s a solid, scientific reason why these secrets succeed. They take advantage of the fact that our eyes and minds react in harmony to what is seen. It’s involuntary and predictable.”
  • [As photographers], “We need both artistic and technical skills to competently create consistently.” [One without the other is like a train with only one track.]
