Best photo composition book I've seen, Jan 20 2008
By Mark - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Image: Designing Effective Pictures (Paperback)
Image: Designing Effective Pictures is my favorite photography book that deals with composition. Freeman takes pains to show how things can be composed using frame, color, line, texture, juxtaposition, etc to create dynamic tension or harmony, and the strengths of various choices of lenses, focus, etc. It bears re-reading. It also is a photography book where the text and sketches are as important as the photo examples. It doesn't deal with digital cameras, but the book is hardly dated since what he's talking about is independent of the camera. If you read one book about photo composition, this is it IMHO.In looking up this title on Amazon, I found that Michael Freeman has an updated version called The Photographer's Eye. Some of the examples that I saw are in Image: Designing Effective Pictures, but I will buy this newer one as well because a reviewer had read both and thought that the second book was even better.

Understand why images visually work, Feb 22 2007

This review is from: Image: Designing Effective Pictures (Paperback)
I've been searching for this book for a long ever since seeing it at the library when I was 10. The book explains easier topics such as contrast, but it delves into far more complex topics such as balance, lighting, perspective, and color. This book is meant to be studied and reread multiple times. The examples are exquisite.
