PHOTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES - SYMBOLS

Symbols are cornerstones of our perception of the world around us. By integrating them, images gain expression and impact. Throughout his career as a professional photographer, Gert Wagner has learned how to detect and deploy symbols to get clarity and suspense into his pictures. By analysing 16 vivid examples from his work of both editorial and advertising photography, he takes the reader straight to the art of storytelling with a camera.

With this tutorial, the author brings a fascinating and vital detail to attention that has not been described yet in such detail in a guide to picture taking. Becoming aware of the finesse of symbolism in photography ultimately leads to more powerful images independently of costly technique.

Gert Wagner has photographed for leading international magazines and for multi-national corporations. Many of his pictures have been published worldwide, and he has been the recipient of numerous awards for his work.
