Getting the best possible photo is not a game of chance – there are proven methods and innovative approaches that the professional photographer uses to succeed. From Freeman’s decades of reportage experience, he has developed proven methods for going beyond where tourists stop, and delivering the photographs that make the cover. Get the Photos Others Can’t uses five ‘nodes’ or guiding principles, in various combinations, to elucidate each particular method of access:
Right Place, Right Time – train yourself in the art of anticipation
Hearts & Minds – understand the importance of people skills
Immersion – involve yourself fully in your subject
Deep Learning – research and reflect
Left Field – take an unexpected direction to find a new angle.

With examples from Freeman’s own archive of images, as well as from iconic photographers including Weegee, Cindy Sherman, Guy Bourdin, W. Eugene Smith and Garry Winogrand, the secrets shared in this book will let you find your own modus operandi for overcoming the obstacles between you and the shot, so you can bring home your own world-class images.

For professional photographers, chasing the light, waiting for it, sometimes helping it, and finally capturing it is a constant preoccupation and for some, an obsession. Drawing on four decades of working with light, Michael Freeman takes a simple but practical approach to interpreting, reacting to, and capturing photography’s most valuable commodity.

Practical advice is organised into three straightforward sections: Waiting, Chasing, and Helping. Begin by mastering the art of patience, and recognise the immense value of anticipating and planning for gorgeous light that’s just over the horizon. Then learn the techniques to meet otherwise transient and fleeting lighting conditions halfway, with quick thinking and fast reactions.

Finally, make the most of the tools at your disposal to enhance and manipulate light as you find it, covering everything from in-the-field shooting choices to technical transformations in post-production. This is the method of a working professional – to interpret, approach, and master whatever lighting situation is thrown at you and always get the shot, no matter what.

Choosing the exposure for a photograph is both alarmingly simple and infinitely complex; in fact, it’s one of photography’s most absorbing paradoxes.

Exposure is at the very heart of photography. It has always been a subject of fascination to aspiring amateurs and professional photographers alike. Developments in digital technology have transformed the ways in which exposures can be manipulated, and this in turn has forced photographers to think about what they can achieve by understanding the variables of aperture, ISO, and time.

In this book Michael Freeman takes you through this difficult and fast-moving area using unique workflow illustrations, histograms, and clear, visual examples to explore the subtleties of the subject and enable you to shoot with confidence.

Divided into six sections – Fast-track & Foolproof, Technical, The Twelve, Style, Post-processing, and Reference – the book will provide you with the necessary instruction to get perfect exposure anywhere and with any subject matter.
