"Learning to See: A Photographer’s Guide from Zero to Your First Paid Gig"/David Molnar [Episode 84]

Booked On Rock with Eric Senich

Whether you want to take better photos in your everyday life or make a full-time income as a photographer, maybe even working in the music business shooting concerts and album covers, the five-part framework author David Molnar teaches in “Learning to See” will work for you:
See: have a vision for your shot and execute that vision
Shoot: become technically proficient with your camera
Edit: help re-create the emotion from the day of the shoot
Develop: identify your area of focus for photography
Earn: start getting paid for your art
It’s a proven process every photographer follows but few talk about. But if you use it, it will shave years off the learning curve Dave himself went through as an amateur photographer.
This book teaches readers to learn to see, because in the end, that’s what a photographer does: notice what other people often miss and understand how to capture those things in a masterful way.
David Molnar is a celebrity and advertising photographer, believer, and family man. His work has been seen on millions of Pepsi cans, in People magazine, on American Idol, and in the New York Times. His clients include Google, Pepsi, and Sony, among many others including the band Skillet (David shot the photo you see on the cover of the band’s 2009 album ‘Awake’). Feeling so blessed to be realizing his dreams, David is now focusing on being “Your Photography Mentor.” He is helping tens of thousands of photographers pursue their dreams by creating world-class photo education, inspiration, and resources.
