| book description |

FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S EYE FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR MICHAEL FREEMAN - COMING JULY 2025 With 30% new content and never-before-seen images, Michael Freeman brings his ground-breaking book, The Photographer's Eye, up to date with a fresh look and the latest developments in digital photography. Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organise the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs. Taking a brand-new look at composition, Michael Freeman explores the visual mechanics of photography in its own native terms. Freshly illustrated with straight-to-the-point diagrams and graphic deconstructions, this new remastered edition speaks in that intuitive, visual, and instantaneous language in which photographers think and work. Dive into extraordinary photography and graphic illustrations that explore how each compositional element is placed and arranged in relation to one another. Examine the outtakes from each shoot to understand why one particular image succeeded compared to those taken before and after. Track the viewer's eye as it moves throughout the photo to see the optical dynamics held within each frame. Most importantly, internalise this graphic language so you can instantly recognise amazing and powerful shots as they appear in your own viewfinder.
