In this book, Torsten Andreas Hoffmann explores an approach to artistic photography based on Japanese Zen-Philosophy. Meditation and photography have much in common: both are based in the present moment, both require complete focus, and both are most successful when the mind is free from distracting thoughts. Hoffman shows how meditation can lead to the source of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHoffman’s impressive images of landscapes, cities, people, and nature, as well as his smart image analysis and suggestions about the artistic process, will help you understand this approach to photography without abandoning the principles of design necessary to achieve great images. Photographing busy scenes, especially, requires an inner calm that enables you to have intuition for the right moment and compose a well-balanced image amidst the chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of this book is to develop your photographic expression.

In real life, I’d just say, ‘Put on your zoom lens, set your f-stop to f\/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.’ That’s what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I’ve learned just like I would with a friend—without all the technical explanations and techie photo speak.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn’t a book of theory—full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts.
