What sets the great photographers apart from the mediocre ones? Learn the Art of Composition with the visual flow.
As photographers, we need to learn how to “see” things better than most people. We need to figure out how to put things into the frame with the right amount of balance and beauty.
How do you take a great photograph? What is the difference between a great photograph and a stunning photograph?
The answer is composition.
Become a master of your composition and take stunning photos
Composition—the artistic arrangement and placement of visual elements within the picture frame—is the most difficult aspect of the art of photography to master, and also the most important.
Visual Flow: Mastering the Art of Composition by Ian Plant will go back many centuries to teach you the principles of composition from the great masters.
If you’re saying “Composition. That’s easy. Rule of thirds right?”
WRONG!
Composition goes WAY beyond that, and you’re in for a rude awakening when you read this book (I know I was). There’s so much you can learn about composition that the room for improvement in your photos is boundless.
In fact, I would say this book might completely revitalize your photography. That’s how good it is. If you’re stuck in a creative rut and you need something to really supercharge your creative juices, then read on.
A comprehensive study of composition that will grow your photography by leaps and bounds
Visual Flow is one of the most comprehensive e-books I’ve ever read on the topic of composition.
Go beyond the basic rules that you’re taught in every book. In fact, the author encourages you to break these rules and experiment with your imagery. You’ll learn that breaking the commonly-accepted rules CAN create unique, breathtaking imagery that will set you apart.
What really appealed to me about this book is how it got me to think outside the box. I loved the chapters which taught composition in relation to the great painters like Monet. I really enjoyed the detailed studies on angles, colors, shapes and what they represent to the viewer.
In total, you’ll get a whopping 287 pages of amazing instruction in a convenient PDF e-book format that you can read on your iPad or computer.
