Simply having a certain camera or lens isn’t going to make you a better photographer. So, what will? Understanding your camera. Thinking differently. Studying photographs and knowing what they provoke in you, and why. Giving the craft time to grow. Looking to painters, designers, and others who work in two dimensions and learning from them. Relentlessly looking for light, lines, and moments. Making photographs–thousands and thousands of photographs. There’s no magic bullet to achieving success, but in these pages you will learn the value of studying, practice, and remembering that your most important assets as an artist are imagination, passion, patience, receptivity, curiosity, and a dogged refusal to follow the rules.
THE VISUAL TOOLBOX is photographer David duChemin’s curriculum for learning not just how to use a camera–but how to make stronger photographs. He has developed 60 lessons, each one a stepping stone to becoming more proficient with the tools of this art, and the means to create deeper visual experiences with your images. David introduces you to the technical side of the craft but quickly moves on to composition, the creative process, and the principles that have always been responsible for making great photographs; he shows you these principles and invites you to play with them, turn them on their heads, and try a different approach to create beautiful, compelling images with your camera.
- Features action-oriented micro-chapters designed to improve your photography immediately
- Includes explanations of 60 concepts with an assignment for nearly every chapter
- Covers such topics as balance, using negative space, exploring color contrast, waiting for the moment, learning to incorporate mood and motion, and much more

Obregon Lots of photography books teach beginners about basic technique, like exposure, focusing and composition. A few talk about learning to see. David DuChemin has constantly been in the vanguard of talking about developing one's vision.This book, purportedly aimed at beginner and intermediate photographers, consists of 60 lessons or short essays, about creating photographs. Each essay is supported by a few of the author's excellent photographs. Throughout DuChemin emphasizes that technique is the servant of vision (my mantra, not the author's). Most lessons include assignments, although I often wonder how many readers actually work on such assignments.How a person learns about photography from a book is very much dependent upon the individual. Still I believe that one ought to start out with what one author calls a "tell-me-all-about-it" book. Once you get the hang of it, a tip book may be useful, but generally I think most tips just teach the budding photographer how to handle a single situation, when the photographer would be better off learning a general principle that he or she could apply to most situations. All this is by way of saying that "60 Lessons" might appear to be a tip book, but if it is, it is far more profound than most tip books. Instead, it's like reading a well thought out blog. The lessons are arranged in a sequence that appears to be developmental, so that for example all of the lessons on the use of light are grouped together, but there are way too many gaps to ever learn photographic technique from this book. Instead DuChemin tells us that it is more important to relate to our subject in some way than to worry about, say, f/ stops.There were ways that I seemed to disagree with the author, even though I think his overall view is essential if one wants to ever create art. For example, he seems to urge spontaneity and to be against over-planning. Yet today I was out taking a landscape photograph, and it required a lot more planning than could have happened spontaneously. I previously reconnoitered the site, checked "The Photographer's Ephemeris" for the best lighting, and brought along some specialized equipment for a panorama. I'm certain that DuChemin would say that planning a shoot in not inconsistent with spontaneity and openness. Perhaps it would be well for the reader to remember that there are a lot of inconsistent ideas in photography that are not rules, a point which DuChemin often makes.Anyway, once you've finished that "tell-me-all-about-it" book, and had some chance to practice what it teaches, if you feel you want images that say more, that even start to approach art, this is a good book for you to read. Even some experienced photographers could benefit from DuChemin's lessons.

Just like taking a great workshop, at a fraction of the price By Tracy Swift This book is more helpful than most of the online photography workshops I've taken, and for a FRACTION of the price. I adore David duChemin's writing, and actually bought this as an ebook about a year ago, but having it in paper form is just so nice. He also improved it since the ebook version, with more chapters and an even better layout. I love the exercises and his writing. If I were to teach a photography class, I would make all my students buy this book and we'd use it as a text. The best thing about it, is that it works at any experience level. I used it when I was still learning the exposure triangle and just starting to shoot in manual mode. And now that I've been comfortable in manual for a year, I still find this book really inspiring and challenging. You won't be disappointed with this book.
9 of 11 people found the following review helpful. duChemin helps me to be more myself as a photographer By Jean Gill DuChemin's books just keep getting better. What you take away from 'The Visual Toolbox' will depend on your level and aims as a photographer but you will take stronger photographs. I was in my comfort zone with shooting manual or isolation by aperture but spending time on the assignments, getting creative with just one feature, took me back to things I thought I knew - and could use differently now. Then there were the chapters out of my comfort zone - out of focus abstract? colour wheel? I know what they are but playing around with them deliberately is new to me. And 'deliberately' is the key word.I've read many books on photography; worked and hung out with pro photographers, each with different specialisms and some with obsessions about what's right. Along with the different foci for each lesson about David duChemin gives me back the 'what if?' confidence to make mistakes, experiment and not fit in. His voice in my head is the one that says 'It's OK to be slow. What do you see? What's the feeling?'This is the third of duChemin's books that I've enjoyed and studied (for there are indeed lessons here). I see him as a mentor, though we've never met. I love his photos - superb illustrations of the pints he makes - and his way of thinking. If that sounds fluffy, then let me add that I worked through all the Lightroom techniques and decisions in 'Vision and Voice' and now apply them to my own work, in my own way, with a huge improvement in outcome.DuChemin's photos are art, travel, wildlife and portraits so for specialist input on e.g. food shots, I have other input. DuChemin prefers natural light (hooray! the antidote to compulsory off-camera-flash) so for there's nothing here on artificial light. But DuChemin's principles do apply to other subject matter - I'll take them with me when studying the work of other photographers, something he recommends. One of my few bugbears with 'The Visual Toolbox' is that 18 out of 20 in DuChemin's list of favourite photographers were men. Man Ray is there - fair enough - but the amazing, talented Lee Miller is not. In my view she's the better photographer of the two (compare his portrait of her with her portrait of him - and then ignore how beautiful she is)As to my own level, I'd say I was a self-taught photographer, with patchy technique ( gaps in some areas and expertise in others) but I want to make more photos I really love. I live in France so perhaps there is significance in duChemin showing me 'the way' forward. Or rather, getting me to ask the right questions and find my own way forward. I've started shooting the wind instead of flowers.
