Surreal Photography – Creating The Impossible – Book

We’ve just received a copy of this book (thank you so much Janine) and it is really such a good read and visual treat. It’s not completely based around mobile photography but that does play a significant part. The primary feature of this book is Surreal Photography and whether you have started the process with your mobile, DSLR, compact it’s doesn’t matter because the tutorials thereafter are based on your capture medium. Janine Graf’s tutorial ‘One Step and Then The Next Get You Where You’re Going’ is in-depth, there are also many photoshop tutorials by many other photographers including, Natalie Dybisz, Jon Jacobsen and Patrick Desmet.

This book reveals the latest developments in the field and demystifies the techniques used by modern surreal photographers, whether you favour straight-out-of-the-camera surrealism or sophisticated digital manipulations. Breaking down the shooting and editing process so any reader can follow, this book provides step-by-step instructions for creating extraordinary scenes.

This book retails for $22.95/£17.99 and you can order via Amazon from here.
