Title: If you are Compositionally Challenged Read Freeman's Book Photographers Eye
Post by: bobkeenan on June 18, 2012, 19:40

Many of you have probably read this book already.  But if not.....

Michael Freeman's book "Photographer's Eyes" is an amazing book for the art and compositionally challenged.   I first read it about 3 years ago and have read it 3 times since.   I have also read all of his other books.  But this one really affected me.   So I wrote a short blog about it here:

http://www.bobkeenanphoto.com/book-review-michael-freemans-photographers-eye-photographers-mind/ (http://www.bobkeenanphoto.com/book-review-michael-freemans-photographers-eye-photographers-mind/)

And thought I should share this thought on this forum.  It really provided a kind of turning point in my Microstock image work.  I am not a major microstock guy....but you should have seen my stuff before I read the book.

I would highly recommend any new photographers to check out his book.

Another great book is Photo Idea Index by Jim Krause. (https://www.powells.com/biblio/72-9781581807660-0)  The title says it all.  It's a book filled with photo ideas!
