商品簡介
More than a comprehensive resource of over 100 photography composition techniques and tools, this book offers a fun and practical system, empowering you to intuitively create your next favourite photo. This jargon-free, basic to advanced guide shows you how to attract, hold and guide the attention of your viewer. The consideration of photographic intention and composition will give you new ideas and inspiration in your macro, landscape, nature, travel, family, product, black and white photos and every genre in-between. Beginner mobile photographers through to professionals using a dedicated camera will pick up new photography composition tips and tricks to create more balance, movement, flow, depth, juxtaposition and much, much more. From beautiful aesthetics to dramatic visual tension, this book is the key to transforming your photography. The secret sauce to creating photos from the perspective of the viewer is 'composition stacking'. This four-step system involves including techniques and tools from each of the four steps to creating a compounded composition. Inside the book is an example of over fifty compositional techniques and tools in a single photo! Effectively, the 100 techniques and tools are grouped into four categories and became a chronological process to follow. The planning stage covers the positioning of the camera, where to place the main visual anchor (subject) in the frame and how to position all the contextual elements in the scene. The final step in the system is editing. In this book, I concentrate on several tools and techniques to enhance the composition, using mobile photo editing apps. Discovering your creative eye and developing your photographic style is one of the most elusive and frustrating ambitions of photographers. One of the book outcomes is the ability to critique an existing photo to identify what appeals to you and makes you more comfortable applying the same techniques in your own photography.
