Photography Secrets from One of the World’s Top Shooters

by Joe McNally

Every time we come across a book that leaves us amazed. Sometimes, I wonder how beautifully a book can move you.

This book also gives you something more. It inspires. It challenges. It informs. But perhaps most importantly, it will help you understand photography and the art of making great photos at a level you never thought possible.

Joe McNally, one of the world’s top digital photographers of this age, whose celebrated work has graced the pages of Sports Illustrated, Time, and National Geographic breaks new ground by doing something no photography book has ever done. Blending the rich, stunning images and elegant layout of a coffee-table book with the invaluable training, no-nonsense insights, and photography secrets usually found only in those rare educational books.

The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially.
