An excellent overview of composition and design in photography. The explanations and comments are interesting and informative, and the illustrations and examples are clear and informative.

Another essential photography book. This one really focuses on the artistic elements in digital photography (especially composition). It's already helped me to see photos in a new way.

Any two dimensional artist should read this book closely, to understand the principles of composition. The last chapter is the most photography-centric but even then it is good advice on how to approach subject matter and style.

***½ good book about photography and composition, but difficult to focus at times. I wish it was a bit more straight forward with practical advice and pointers.

Honestly, I found it to be a bit boring. Also, I wasn't crazy about his photography style, but it is still a good book for the right person.

I took my time reading through this book. As the subtitle says, it is all about composing and designing better pictures. The author introduces a lot of technical aspects of photographing which, when you see them in a picture you know it's a good photo without being able to say why. He teaches you things such vectors, using circles and rectangles, dynamic tension, filling the frame, and color in composition, just to name a few. I took a long time reading this book as it has a LOT of information and I found I wanted to look up examples of the techniques on the internet and try to think of how to use what he was teaching in photography. Reading through this book made me realize how much there is to learn about photography and how far I still need to go! The author does assume you know your camera well and that you know basic photographer terminology, but you don't need to be a professional to understand the book.

Este sea probablemente EL libro para comenzar sobre todo el tema de la fotografía, suficiente mente amplio como para querer aprender mas y lo suficientemente especifico para que uno sienta que se aprendió algo, quizás pudo haber mas opiniones personales dentro del libro, de la misma formas que mas datos históricos desde su perspectiva, eso pudo haber hecho de un libro manual, algo mucho mas interesante.
