Composition Techniques from a Master Photographer Book

Producing a visually effective image is as much a question of composition as one of technical expertise, whether shooting in color or black and white, a single subject or panoramics. This book teaches photographers how to control the details of composition from the first step of selecting a subject through the final framing. Examples are used to illustrate topics such as image format, subject placement, color balance and harmony, the geometry of image balance, and sharpness. Photographers learn how to identify and avoid distracting elements and how to improve images after they are taken. Ernst Wildi is an internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker and the author of Achieving the Ultimate Image. He lives in Wachtung, New Jersey.
