A fresh photographic look

New techniques and tips from the old master of image composition
Concise double-page workshops bring the essential elements of image composition to the point
Examples and images from professional practice illustrate essential rules and techniques of image composition

Fifteen years after the initial publication of his best-selling book, The Photographic Gaze, Michael Freeman publishes a refreshingly new photography school on image composition that reflects the evolution of photography as a medium in the 21st century.
Image composition is the most powerful tool in photography. Using compositional techniques, you can clearly point out things in your photographs or delay their recognition, facilitate or complicate their perception. You can make subjects simple or sophisticated, present them harmoniously or in their contrasts. And perhaps more importantly: By selectively using compositional artifice to suit your own taste or discretion, you give your photography its own character and style.
Michael Freeman explains in detail why and how image composition works, from perception to image idea to vision, and presents numerous practical composition templates and design techniques that can be applied to a wide variety of shooting situations.
