Summary

Live your very own Wes Anderson fantasy by mastering the techniques to transform your photography into kaleidoscopic, cinematic stills worthy of the auteur’s latest masterpiece. Shoot Like Wes breaks down the techniques behind the iconic Wes Anderson films—from the God’s-eye view in The Royal Tenenbaums to the low-angle and backlighting in Fantastic Mr. Fox, and the symmetry used in The Grand Budapest Hotel. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of the Wes Anderson aesthetic and includes illustrated, step-by-step photography challenges for you to follow with your smartphone.

Discover the secrets of Wes’s unique style and learn how to apply these techniques to your own photography, with suggested exercises to practise. Once you’ve been inspired by the films, let Shoot Like Wes teach you the know-how to cultivate your own whimsical imagery.
