Basics Photography 01: Composition guides the reader through the key aspects of photographic composition.
Second to lighting, composition is the key ingredient for the creation of a successful photograph. A technically perfect shot has no resonance unless it is also beautifully composed. This book discusses topics including the organization of space and time, manipulation of movement, the use of texture, observation and application.
It explores how to combine these elements to compose great shots and encourages the reader to find their own view.

'What an amazing book.'
Kevin Scully, Granite State College at Rochester&Portsmouth, USA'A little bit of a luxury to have an entire book given over to composition ... this text informs and inspires. Very good structure.'
