complete amateur
A celebration of amateurism by Erik Kessels, Complete Amateur explains how to let go of everything you know and embrace things you know nothing about.
Full of brilliant masterpieces by absolute beginners (and also by artists who have kept experimenting with a beginner’s approach), this photographic guide invites you to exercise your amateur muscle and escape the traps of professionalism. “Do it like you don’t know what you’re doing”, says Kessels, suggesting that going in blind is sometimes the only way to see clear.
