Vi har fortalt historier til hinanden i alle tider og samfund. Men fortællingen er mere nødvendig end nogensinde. Og verden over har medierne fået øjnene op for at lange, velfortalte historier, der er en efterspurgt vare, frem for korte nyheder og clickbait. Tiden kalder på gode fortællinger og i en fragmenteret verden tilbyder fortællende journalistik læserne forståelse og fordybelse. I Fortællingernes tid tager Line Vaaben læseren med ind i nogle af verdens bedste journalister, redaktører og fotografers værksted og præsenterer nøje udvalgte eksempler på nyere fortællende journalistik fra både den amerikanske tradition og den fremvoksende og særlige skandinaviske fortælletradition.

I sine erindringer fortæller Jacob Holdt levende, underholdende og med stor sans for sjove og tankevækkende detaljer om de vilde år, der gjorde ham berømt langt ud over landets grænser og kom til at definere hans liv. Alle kender Jacob Holdt og hans Amerikanske billeder. Et værk, som ikke blot redefinerede opfattelsen af underklassen i USA, men også blev synonym med Jacob Holdts eget liv som langskægget provokatør, fotograf og aktivist. Men hvorfra kommer hans nysgerrighed, hans uforbeholdne møde med andre mennesker og hans filosofi om at sige ja til alle, han møder på sin vej? Hvad er han selv rundet af? I sine erindringer fortæller Jacob Holdt levende, underholdende og med stor sans for sjove og tankevækkende detaljer om sin opvækst i en præstegård i den vestjyske landsby Fåborg. Det er en barndom, der er fuld af eventyr og frihed, men den er også påvirket af hans psykisk uberegnelige mor og fraværende præstefar. Efter en turbulent ungdom og et oprør mod sin far ’flygter’ Jacob Holdt til USA, hvor han som 23-årig indleder fem års blaffertur. Da han vender hjem igen, er det ikke blot med uforglemmelige indtryk og erfaringer fra de mere end 220.000 kilometer som vagabond på de amerikanske landeveje. I rygsækken har han også de mange tusind fotografier, han har taget af især fattige sorte, og som i 1977 bliver til den banebrydende bog Amerikanske billeder. Udgivelsen af bogen bliver startskuddet til et liv på landevejene, som har varet siden da. Bogen er rigt illustreret – både med Jacob Holdts private fotos samt fotos fra den allerførste tur gennem USA.

A highly anticipated monograph from the internationally acclaimed documentary photographer and filmmaker
When photographing people, you can have a great composition, perfect light, and the right camera settings, but if your subject doesn't look right-if the pose is off-the shot will not be a keeper. Posing is truly a crucial skill that photographers need to have in order to create great photographs. If you're looking to improve your ability to pose your subjects-whether they're men, women, couples, or groups-best-selling author and photographer Lindsay Adler's The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone is the perfect resource for you.In the first half of The Photographer's Guide to Posing, Lindsay discusses how the camera sees, and thus how camera angle, lens choice, and perspective all affect the appearance of your subject. Lindsay then covers the five most important things that ruin a pose-such as placement of the hands, and your subject's expression and posture. If you can look out for and avoid these five things, your skills (and your images) will quickly improve. Next, Lindsay dives into "e;posing essentials,"e; outlining her approach to start with a "e;base pose,"e; then build on that to create endless posing opportunities. She also discusses posing the face-with specific sections dedicated to the chin, jaw, eyes, and forehead-as well as posing hands.In the second half of the book, Lindsay dedicates entire chapters to posing specific subject matter: women, men, couples, curvy women, families and small groups, and large groups. In each chapter, Lindsay addresses that subject matter's specific challenges, provides five "e;go-to poses"e; you can always use, and covers how to train the eye to determine the best pose for your subject(s). In the final chapter of the book, Lindsay brings it all together as she teaches you how to analyze a pose so that you can create endless posing opportunities and continuously improve your work
