一名平面設計師苦惱於找不到滿意的照片素材，於是拿起相機親自上陣， 且看他如何從素人自拍進化為替Apple、LandRover、Audi、Cartier等國際知名品牌操刀的專業攝影師，其關鍵在於每一張「有故事」的照片…… 照片，可以說故事，只要你知道如何敘事（人物、地點、事件） 有故事的照片（結構、主題、氣氛、簡約），可以感動人心，只要你懂得拍攝技巧， 不必花重金添購高檔相機，也不用另外報名任何攝影課程， 僅需一台數位相機或人人都有的智慧型手機，以及上網功能， 即可拍出讓你的IG追蹤人數暴增的精采作品！ 此外，隨著網紅行銷的浪潮興起， 為品牌量身打造內容以便於在IG等各大媒體平台曝光， 這種商業行銷手法尤其實用。 直接在影像中置入商品省事又容易，但毫無創意； 根據商品特質發展出貼切的故事， 並在宣傳時為受眾帶來愉悅的心情，才是最理想的作法。 IG 部落客教你用照片說故事，掌握 5 步驟，你也可以成為很會說故事的攝影師。 1. 完美提案。與大客戶建立合作關係。精通談判的藝術。 2. 預先準備。製作情緒板、備妥通告單、拍攝前勘景，穩健地邁向成功。 3. 從容拍攝。依步驟完成數位單眼的專案演練及智慧型手機的拍攝練習，在任何類型的攝影中靈活應用。 4. 妥善編輯。在情節和重要技巧的加持下，使照片獨樹一格。 5. 定稿交件。以故事突顯內涵，在客戶心中留下深刻感受。 如何讓人記住一幅圖像或攝影師的作品？ 關鍵在於影像所要述說的故事； 故事才是影響力的真正來源。 從童話到傳奇，乃至宗教文本和政治宣傳品， 全都是透過故事吸引大眾的注意力並激起情緒， 這麼一來，其背後隱含的訊息才能永久傳遞。 本書旨在引導你不斷嘗試和測試，將故事置於核心位置，協助你創作雋永的攝影作品， 也就是美國新聞攝影師朵洛西亞．朗格（Dorothea Lange）口中的「值得反覆品味的照片」（second looker）。 業界競相爭取合作的攝影師，其攝影作品的質感與某些好萊塢電影的設計和美感不相上下。 ──《赫芬頓郵報》 如果你想走出IG成為貨真價實的專業攝影師，你可得認真看待芬恩在這本攝影教學書中分享的想法、祕訣和思維。 ──@alexstrohl
