Young, future talented photographers will be able to gain new stimuli from Antonio Leanza, founder of the London School of Photography, who will be present at the show. Antonio, born Sicilian, brings with him forty years of artistic and profound photographic activity.

Photo Books You Need to Read #2 – Teach Yourself Photography
In the previous post about photography books, I confessed my obsession with collecting them, so here is another book from which I have learned a lot:
Teach Yourself Photography from the author Lee Frost.
Lee is regarded as one of the world’s best-selling photography authors. It’s hard to put a figure on just how many copies of his books have sold, but apparently it’s well over half a million.

I started photographing in 1982. Since then it has always been the way I choose to express myself, including during the time I was working in advertising and design.
It was a hobby until I started the Professional Photography Course at LSP. There, I was able to turn a passion into business.

Photography and Life – an analogy
Photography is everywhere.
More accessible than ever before, taking pictures is now part of our daily lives.
We document everything: from what we eat at breakfast to the book we read at night.
Taking photos has become so natural that we forget how using a camera can be a tool to help us see life in a different way.
In composition, we can often improve the way a scene looks by adjusting how we’re looking at it. Learning to see things from varied angles and perspectives can only have a positive impact in every other aspect of our lives.
All you wanted to know about FOCUS.
There is one thing that demanded a lot of practice in the analogue days of photography: FOCUS.
Since its advent, photography has seen many focusing methods:
There were fixed lenses with fixed focus, then the rangefinder-type of focusing, then the split screen focusing and finally came the “loved by all” Auto Focus.
