Michael Freeman On... Composition

Fifty years after the publication of the hugely influential bestseller The Photographer's Eye, Michael Freeman returns with fresh ideas that reflect on the way the medium has evolved in the 21st century

Composition is the single most powerful tool in a photographer's armory. Unconstrained by any outside influence, it can be a pure expression of individuality, and this is what makes it so important. Freeman details both why and how composition works, from perception to visual imagination, including many practical compositional templates - varying from the Walk-in to the Frame Break to the Fibonacci Point - ready to be applied to a range of camera situations.
