Learning To See Creatively: Design, Colour & Composition In Photography

Revised Edition.

Almost everyone can "see" in the conventional sense, but developing photographic vision takes practice. This book helps photographers visualise their work, and the world, in a whole new light. Now totally rewritten, revised, and expanded, this bestselling guide takes a radical approach to creativity. It explains how it is not some gift only for the "chosen few" but actually a skill that can be learned and applied.

Using inventive photos from his own stunning portfolio, author and veteran photographer Bryan Peterson deconstructs creativity for photographers. He details the basic techniques that went into not only taking a particular photo, but also provides insights on how to improve upon it - helping readers avoid the visual pitfalls and technical dead ends that can lead to dull, uninventive photographs.
