Behind The Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s All About The Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve learned that great images are not just plucked out of the air as you pass through a scene. They\u2019re crafted with a blend of vision, technical skills, a bit of luck, and a specific approach that\u2019s unique to each photographer. Essentially, it\u2019s the method that makes the image.<\/p>\n

Through my own learning process, I\u2019ve come to understand that more than anything else, studying the methods of photographers who you admire is one of the best ways to advance your own skills and creative techniques. When I first started shooting, I spent hours poring through books and studying the methods by photographers like Galen Rowell, Bryan Peterson and Nevada Wier. What I found most useful was when I was able to read about the specific insight, the creative ideas and the technical approach that went into each photograph.<\/p>\n

Years later, I can look back and see how vital those tools were for my own development, which is why I decided to write this book.<\/p>\n

Learn By Looking Over My Shoulder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Behind The Action<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is all method. It lays out the exact step-by-step process for 12 specific adventure and outdoor type images. Essentially, I take the reader along with me on a number of shoots and let them look over my shoulder as I scout the location, gauge the light, choose my equipment, come up with an approach, execute the final image and reflect on how it all went down. I even show you a number of outtakes so that you can follow along and see how the final shot eventually came about.<\/p>\n

In short, Behind The Action is the closest thing you\u2019ll ever get to actually being there on the shoot with me and watching me work. Honestly, I can\u2019t think of a better way to teach you how to become a better photographer aside from bringing you on as an assistant. Even if you have a solid understanding of photography and equipment, this book will show you the nuts and bolts of how to put it all together when you’re out there on location and the dust is flying, the light is changing and your scene is quickly unfolding.<\/p>\n

What You\u2019ll Learn<\/strong><\/p>\n

For each of the 12 images that\u2019s featured inside the book, I detail the following:<\/p>\n
