Brian Peterson
Photography is the cornerstone of contemporary art and design. The principles, with their roots in portrait and landscape painting facilitate the desirable organic look of much graphic composition.
Peterson teaches the principles of better photography with clear, simple and effective examples. This is quite honestly a fantastic textbook of creative techniques and once on this path, you will possess the necessary skill set with which to turn everything in your immediate field of vision into a striking image.
For best results, follow up this book with The Principles of Form and Design and begin combining photographic composition with repetition structures.
