About this ebook

Creative conversations from some of the world’s top photographers, filmmakers, Grammy award winners, TED presenters, actors, CEOs and more!
 
Many of us think of creativity as something distant and incompatible with daily life—a skill that artists get to use, but not the rest of us. Maybe you feel like a land-locked surfer, yearning for exhilarating rides. Or maybe you live for the few hours a week when you can take photographs, paint, or write. It’s time for a new mindset. Create shows you how to rediscover the artist within you.
 
People who make a living in the creative arts know that there is a cycle to unlocking the imagination. Visualize, know your tools, work your craft, refine, share. When you tap into this cycle, you’ll find ways to operate at your highest state in all aspects of life.
 
Overcoming the barriers to innovation is easier than you think. Marc Silber—bestselling author, award-wining creative and educator—shows you how to avoid the traps of procrastination, overthinking, and self-doubt. The exercises in Create are specifically designed to help you find certainty and confidence in self-expression.
 
Learn how to:
· Master the techniques of visualization
· Draw inspiration from the world around you
· Collaborate with people who can further your vision
· Share with others to spread the joy
 
“Take it from someone who has been an educator in the arts for decades: if you want a more artistic and fun life, you’re holding the book that will do it (plus, you’ll love Marc’s delightful and engaging writing style). Highly recommended.” —Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book

Marc Silber

Marc Silber is the author of the bestselling book Advancing Your Photography and an award-winning professional video producer, photographer, and photography educator who has been successfully working in the field for decades. Marc combines his passion for the visual art of photography with his love of life. He started out learning darkroom skills and the basics of photography at the legendary Peninsula School in Menlo Park, CA in the ’60s, and moved on to hone his skills to professional standards at the famed San Francisco Art Institute, one of the oldest and most prestigious schools of higher education in art and photography in the United States. Since then, Marc has been a dedicated educator. He began his teaching career at the age of nineteen at the National Outdoor Leadership School, teaching mountaineering. When teaching a life-or-death subject such as mountaineering, one learns how to make sure the students understand the material. When Marc moved into teaching photography in workshops all over the country, he became renowned as an engaging and helpful speaker and coach, as his greatest joy comes from helping others. Most recently, Marc has embraced the digital age with a highly popular YouTube show also named Advancing Your Photography, which has won several Telly Awards and other recognition for his work there. This new book on composition, The Secrets to Taking Amazing Photos, is a distillation of all the pro tips and wisdom from his YouTube series, coupled with his research of the master artists in a format you can take with you and refer to constantly when you are out creating your photographs.

    I wanted to like this more; Silber's YouTube photography channel is well packaged and thought-provoking. But... while the book is well-structured, there's little material bringing new insight, and once the form is established (biog story + ideas + suggestions + interview), it struggles to remain strong. (And from this reader, Silber loses at least one star by describing a case study interviewee as "model, TV personality, lifestyle guru" in "an extrordinary array of talents". Possibly that is the case in California - along with using the "guru" label three times in the introduction.)
