Customer Reviews

Another in a series of great books.

This author came recommended by a photography teacher & I have not been disappointed in any of his books. This is the third book I have purchased. Very clear writing and great pictures.

Review of "Photo Impressionism the the Subjective Image"

Although in this review the book's author is listed as Freeman Patterson, Andre Gallant was a co-author. Together they produced a masterpiece in this book. It is clearly written, expressively creative, and visually attractive and informative.

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.

widen your horizons

Yes, photography is a real art medium and you can take it beyond literal representation and make it more expressive! Make your photography convey how a subject makes you feel rather than what that subject literally is. Andre and Freeman are excellent instructors and this book is wonderful and inspiring. Several different techniques in subjective imagery are presented, including multiple-exposure impressionistic images (with different camera movement techniques for different effects) and the aptly named dreamscapes using photo-montage. The explanations are good, and the techniques are not difficult, although they take practice to master. Don't be discouraged at first, keep experimenting!

For those with a Right Brain

An imaginative and instructive book of images and text. Athough the techniques are written for film, the thrust of the book applies equally to users of digital media.
