Composition

Strong images only come about through a combination of technical excellence and thorough composition. While there is plenty of technical advice photographers often turn to fine-art sources for the so-called 'rules of composition'. This book however acknowledges photography's quite different dynamic and offers a contemporary approach to composition more suited to the medium. The second edition of Basics Photography 01: Composition offers a contemporary approach to composition. Its six core chapters cover historical background and personal motivation formal elements space and time within the photographic frame and composition in real-world situations. The Basics Photography series originally published by AVA Publishing comprises a collection of titles including: Lighting Composition Capturing Colour Post-Production Black & White Post-Production Colour Working in Black & White and Exposure. Easily accessible and highly readable the books clearly explain and explore fundamental photographic concepts; they are fully indexed and illustrated with clear diagrams and inspiring imagery building to provide an essential introduction to the subject.
