SynopsisDesign is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs. Digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design - first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures. Now published in sixteen languages, The Photographer's Eye continues to speak to photographers everywhere. Reaching 100,000 copies in print in the US alone, and 300,000+ worldwide, it shows how anyone can develop the ability to see and shoot great digital photographs. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder., Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph.

The very best book ever on composition.
Photographer for 60 years, but this book is more valuable than most of that experience. Superior teaching on What to see and How to act photographically for excellent results. If you value making excellent images? then get this book and learn from it. While some or many of Freeman's ideas may be known to you or already are being used, there will be more "jewels" to be found. For example, he teaches how older view camera users produced great pictures while looking at upside down images. They learned to see light versus dark areas, positive versus negative space and composition instead of concentration on the subject only. To summarize my review, I give this book the highest possible positive recommendation. If you appreciate good photography and making high quality photographs instead of lucking into an occasional success story, then this book is essentially worth whatever you have to pay for it. Thank you.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great book
Straight forward easy to read. the book introduces you to different ideologies of photography. it has helped me go from "that looks cool" to "this looks cool because" and from there I am able to start adjusting the photograph to exactly what I feel would be a good picture.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
