The story behind MODERN PHOTOGRAPHER
This book will attempt to create a new culture in photography — a culture of entrepreneurial creation, artistic experimentation, and thinking big.
Photography is at the intersection of art, commerce, and technology. With the pervasiveness of the internet, these fields are rapidly changing and we as photographers need to change too. We need MODERN PHOTOGRAPHERS for this modern time.
Your purchase will support open-source information and photography on this blog to continue to empower and educate the photography and artistic community. MODERN PHOTOGRAPHER is a labor of love and hard work (with many many hours for layout design, concept, writing, editing), featuring original artwork by Eric Kim, Annette Kim, and Cindy Nguyen.
MODERN PHOTOGRAPHER was created at HAPTICLABS BERLIN OFFICE, an incubator art, commerce, technology project and published by HAPTICPRESS –an independent and innovative publisher directed by Cindy Nguyen.
