About the Book: 

Decisive Moments will inspire photographers of all abilities from beginners to experienced practitioners and will help them to identify photographic opportunities and make successful images consistently.

As well as having an international reputation as a published photographer, Andy Hall has had a 40 year career in teaching. In Decisive Moments, Andy combines his photographic and teaching experience by putting together a 30-year retrospective collection of stunning images, each of which has a key learning feature for photographers to reflect on.

By exploring artistic elements in his own photography using brief, clear, unambiguous descriptions of when and how the image was captured, Andy encourages photographers to have a deeper understanding of the importance of timing, light, composition, colour and design in their images.

This is a must-have book not only for photographers who want to achieve their full potential but for people who simply enjoy the visual world around them.
