A note from the author, Richard Zakia P. H. Emerson reminds us that
Every artist is at first an amateur. One of the great American
photographers of the 20th Century, Edward Weston, as a young
photographer, only got honourable mention in a photographic contest
sponsored by an amateur camera magazine. Ansel Adams, Paul Strand
and others also began as amateurs. Wynn Bullock began his
outstanding photographic career later in life when he was in his
40s Today, in our digital age, everyone is a photographer.
Recognizing this and the fact that there are some basic proven
guidelines for creating winning photographs, we put together this
highly visual book especially for beginning photographers who want
to improve their photography. In doing so we discovered that some
professional photographers also found it helpful. One can think of
our book as a visual grammar that will help you better compose what
you desire to express and to do so with clarity. However amazing
the subject or technically excellent the photography, the single
biggest factor in deciding whether a photograph is good or bad is
how well it is composed. Photographic Composition Visualized offers
a unique take on this fundamental issue by offering instruction in
a visual format - the book is laid out in a unique spread format of
a beautiful image on one page, with an in-depth break down of why
the rule of composition works in the image, but also how a
photographer can apply it to their own photography. Inspirational,
instructive, and, most importantly, visually stunning and
beautiful, photography master Richard Zakia teaches the lessons he
has learned from over 40 years as a photographer. This is the book
every photographer needs to own in order to create the outstanding
images they always wanted to - but didn't know how.
