A Beautiful Anarchy is a vulnerable, honest, and insightful book about the human longing to create, whether you're creating a family, a business, a book, or a photograph. Your greatest creation can be an intentional life lived on your own terms. What is our life but a chance to make the greatest art of all? If you already identify as a creative person, this book is an invitation to more intentionally explore your creative process. If you've ever said, "But I'm not really creative," it's a call to exhume a part of yourself that desperately needs to get out and breathe. This is an honest discussion about creativity and the obstacles that stand in your way on that journey. It's an invitation to consider the creative in all of us, and to recognize that your best work will always be done when you colour outside the lines and listen first to your own voice. Truly exceptional, authentic lives have never belonged to the talented or the fearless, but to those who find the courage to do their work, and to be themselves.

"David duChemin presents four monographs, with a series of 30 prints from each project: Venice, Iceland, Kenya, and Antarctica. After each set of photographs, duChemin takes the reader behind the scenes to discuss the motivation behind the project, and in turn discusses each image with regard to how it was conceived, composed, or post-processed ... both behind the camera and in the digital darkroom"--P. [4] of cover.

In this follow-up to the bestselling "Within the Frame," duChemin offers a practical primer on visual language. The overarching question at the heart of this book is, "What makes a good photograph?" Why is this important? Because once a photographer understands what makes a good photograph--once he or she learns the visual language--then that photographer is well on the way to being able to "speak" that language, creating stronger images that communicate and connect his or her intention with the viewer.
