Photographers can now revolutionize their ability to perceive and record scenes with this fresh new approach to composition. Unlike other resources based on graphic design principles, this book uses cognitive science to help photographers develop greater artistic proficiency. Illustrated by 250 breathtaking photographs by the author, this book offers a series of exercises sure to help photographers see and perceive their environment differently. More than 60 innovative assignments deconstruct various aspects of perception and reveal pioneering experiments based on points, lines, and shapes. Photographers will get hone their skills with exercises in a variety of photographic genres: portrait, nature, landscape, astronomical, sports, and street photography. This guide will challenge beginning- and intermediate-level photographers to develop their cognitive skills in order to create their best work. Photography: The Art of Composition SYNOPSIS To help photographers develop their visual perception and visual communication skills, a Portland, Oregon photographer/attorney presents 60 image-taking and evaluation exercises that focus on the relationships between objects. Krager sticks with basic b&w images to avoid the distractions of color. Each exercise presents information on a specific genre (e.g. plants, urban scenes, celestial objects), and practical and technical considerations. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
