The second edition of the book Focus op Fotografie: Van maken tot raken by Diana Bokje is about your development as a photographer. Who are you as a photographer, what are your values and how do they influence your photographic themes? What if anything were possible, who would you be? Go from idea to photo project in fifty steps.
The first part of the book focuses on your development as a photographer. No journey is without obstacles, in this book you will learn how to overcome these obstacles and what resources can help you.
Yet this book is not just a self-help book for photographers. The step-by-step plan runs through the book as a common thread. A practical manual that takes you from your dream to the concrete implementation of a photo project.
After you have discovered in the first chapters what your motivations and goals in photography are, your own style and creativity are discussed. How can you stimulate your creativity? In this book you will find various methods to generate, select and enrich ideas to create the best and most autonomous plan of action for your project.
Every photo project or beautiful series starts with a dream of the maker. Author, photographer and photography teacher Diana Bokje helps you to recognize that dream in yourself and develop it into an appealing photo series or presentation.
Through a step-by-step plan you will find the answers to the following questions: how do you come up with an idea, how do you enrich it, how do you turn it into a fascinating project, how do you capture it with your own signature, how do you make each photo speak more, how do you deal with doubts, how do you persevere and how do you bring a project to completion?
As a photography coach, Diana Bokje gives photographers the tools and inspiration to develop their photographic vision, creativity and expressiveness so that they can touch others with their photos. “I enjoy it when I see how others are getting closer to themselves and how this makes their self-confidence grow. What continues to fascinate me about photography is the wide variety of images. From beautiful aesthetic images to raw, stimulating photos and sometimes elusive representations of reality. It's not about what's in the photo, but how. When you as a photographer are really connected to your subject, you as a viewer feel it in the photo. That's why I think it's important to be close to myself and my nature in my photography emotions and feelings to remain. An inner struggle, special event or emotion that I question with the help of photography. Universal questions that also affect the viewer.”
