About the Author
Born in 1981, Cora has been photographing since 2002. Her craft is unique in that she almost always has the finished, edited image in her mind when she releases the shutter. She opts to shoot infrequently but with great intention and purpose. Cora's visual language is clean and quiet. She likes light, bright images featuring harmonious, subtle, and desaturated colors, and she is a borderline perfectionist when it comes to designing her images. Her award-winning photography has been exhibited in international competitions.
Cora's diverse photographic interests include portrait, beauty, fashion, nude, erotic, and floral photography. Top quality color management is a part of her daily craft, which she produces consistently for initial exposures, fine-art prints, and everything in between.
Professionally trained in the cultural sciences, she works as a freelance graphic designer and photo editor for exacting photography publications. Together with Georg, she also works as a writer for magazine and book publishers and develops concepts for educational materials about photography. Her contract work ranges from stylish arrangement and ideal lighting for product photography to portraits and aesthetic nude and erotic images. She directs the contract photography curriculum for the artist's workshop at Artepictura. Additional information can be found at artepictura-atelier.de.
Born in 1969, Georg has been photographing since 1984. His style is characterized by approaching his subjects closely, playing with sharpness and blur, and designing loudly and colorfully with off-kilter perspectives. His attention to detail is common across his interests in portrait, lifestyle, erotic, nude, travel, and detail photography. He sees subjects in everyday scenes that others tend to miss and he excels at capturing these details with a spontaneous and instinctive shooting style, though he prefers to thoroughly prepare portrait shoots conceptually.
His contract work as a photographer centers on lifestyle images, everyday scenes, and employee and company profiles. For the past five years, he and Cora have written for photography textbooks and magazines. Georg studied economics and social education, and as a management consultant he pairs his photographic expertise with extensive experience in project management and sales to help corporate clients with their visual representation and professional image design needs.
Georg has devised and independently built three structured courses of study for photography, including the photography department at the college in Rhein-Main, the photography school at the university in Lueneburg, and Artepictura Academy (artepictura-akademie.de). He is currently earning a teaching degree in Media Management in Wiesbaden.

This book is brilliant in its concept and design. I opened it this morning and planned to read a little each night. That didn't happen, I read it cover to cover. As point of reference... I've been a photographer for over 30 years, and well traveled and published. I now teach commercial photography and do a little consulting for some of the major camera software companies. I'm also humbled by great photographers and consider myself a constant learner. I've been searching for a book that would allow beginning photographers to get beyond the point and shoot mode (that new digital camera systems afford) to a place where they learn more of the craft and how the camera is like a brush an artist uses on a canvas. Learning to Photograph to Photograph is perfect for the beginner who wants to truly understand the systems, and how they blend into refined image creation.
You'll learn about simple and advanced camera operations; exposure control through f-stop; shutter speed and ISO speeds; and an extraordinary explanation of lens types-- from telephoto to shift lenses. The reader will also learn about CMOS and CCD arrays and even Carver Mead's Foveon X3 chip is accurately portrayed in ability to capture accurate color (with noise that is digitally suppressed). The lighting section covers the basics of on-camera lighting and simple (stand-alone) strobe lights and modifiers. The book could have been more in-depth on the used of on-camera with remote triggered strobes... but this is the only (minor) short coming I found in the book. The book is loaded simple descriptions of how camera systems work and how they apply to different shooting needs and requirements.
