101 Quick and Easy Ideas Taken from the Master Photographers of the Twentieth Century shows you how to recognize and use the techniques of some of the great photographers of the last century.

Each chapter of the book focuses on one photographer and includes a brief biography that highlights the life experiences that influenced his or her work and provides descriptions of one or several iconic images he or she photographed that include the key photographic elements that apply to that work—light, shadow, narrative, and symbolism.

Along with the descriptions are re-creations of the images that use similar subject matter and settings, as well as the steps to help you compose and manipulate your own version of the image. As you work through the book, you’ll find that the same concepts and themes were used by many of the photographers, but the meanings changed as their work was shaped by the events, technology, and environment that unfolded throughout the twentieth century.

Arranged alphabetically by photographer name, 101 Quick and Easy Ideas Taken from the Master Photographers of the Twentieth Century features photographers you’ll easily recognize and some who are new to you. The book features Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Robert Mapplethorpe, Berenice Abbott, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and many more. By learning about and trying the common photography concepts and techniques used by master photographers, you’ll enhance your photographic skill set and hopefully find inspiration and ideas for your own work.

101 Quick and Easy Ideas Taken from Master Photographers of the Twentieth Century  is for amateur to intermediate photographers who want  tips for taking better photographs using the techniques of nearly 40 master photographers and art-museum goers who are interested in the techniques used by master photographers of the 20th century.
