Photography: The Art of Composition

by Bert Krages

Photographers can now revolutionize their ability to perceive and record scenes with this fresh new approach to composition. Unlike other resources based on graphic design principles, this book uses cognitive science to help photographers develop greater artistic proficiency. Illustrated by 250 breathtaking photographs by the author, this book offers a series of exercises sure to help photographers see and perceive their environment differently. More than 60 innovative assignments deconstruct various aspects of perception and reveal pioneering experiments based on points, lines, and shapes. Photographers will get hone their skills with exercises in a variety of photographic genres: portrait, nature, landscape, astronomical, sports, and street photography. This guide will challenge beginning- and intermediate-level photographers to develop their cognitive skills in order to create their best work.

Reviews

"Photography: The Art of Composition goes to the creative heart of the matter of making photographs. It is intelligent, insightful, and fun. The book is a lovely and challenging experience, like the art of photography itself."

�Kristi Eisenberg, Visual Communications Program Director, Cecil Community College, North East, MD

"All too often, students of photography spend more time learning about f-stops and shutter speeds than they do learning about visual communication. Photography: The Art of Composition will help to correct that error. In a thoughtful and understandable presentation, readers are led through a series of exercises that sharpen their visual skills and greatly advance their ability to make expressive photographs that successfully communicate with their viewers. Any serious student interested in visual communication will find this book an important resource."

�Bruce Katsiff, photographer and museum director
