A radical new history of photography from a team of esteemed writers and thinkers that focuses on the complex collaborations between photographer and subject.
Collaboration is a groundbreaking publication, by five great thinkers and practitioners in photography, in collaboration with hundreds of photographers, writers, critics, artists, and academics. This collection uses the lens of collaboration to challenge dominant narratives around photographic history and authorship. Working with an accumulation of more than six hundred photographs, each entry breaks apart photography's "single creator" tradition by bringing to light tangible traces of collaboration -- the various relationships, exchanges, and interactions that occur in the making of any photograph and in the shaping, undoing and transforming archives.

Lessons in Realistic Watercolor
By Robinson, Mario Andres
In the tradition of American painters such as Andrew Wyeth, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, and John Singer Sargent, Mario Andres Robinson shows us how to create beautiful, timeless, classical watercolor paintings through the use of simple, yet sophisticated, contemporary techniques every watercolorist needs to know. Many artists find watercolor difficult to control and are often disappointed with the results. The water meanders across the surface of the paper and, given the proper nuance by the artist's brush, it will reluctantly settle. Robinson's approach to the medium of watercolor is primarily traditional but his methods are unconventional. Robinson simplifies the process and teaches artists to layer colors from light to dark and to focus on the highlighted areas first.

The Landscape Photographer's Guide to Photoshop
By Tal, Guy
The first step to creating a successful photograph happens before you even click the shutter: the act of visualizing the final result -- viewing the landscape in front of you and seeing, in your mind's eye, the final image that you want to create -- is the true first act of the creative process. Once you know the end result you want to achieve, connecting the dots from capture through post-processing in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop becomes an intentional and logical act. Instead of randomly (and desperately) pushing and pulling sliders in Photoshop with the hope that your image will look "better," you execute a logical series of steps that closes the gap between the initial capture and your earlier visualization.In The Landscape Photographer's Guide to Photoshop: A Visualization-Driven Workflow, photographer, author, and educator Guy Tal provides you with a roadmap to help you learn to implement such a visualization-driven approach in your landscape photography.
