Resumen del Editor

In Photography Composition, you will find all you need to know to learn the basics of composition. It will teach you the proper terms and ways to apply rules that you might already know instinctively yet not quite understand why they work the way they do.

Here's a preview of what you'll learn:

• Happy accidents: This tip teaches you how to pay attention to the following rules in order to replicate happy accidents and to be able to more purposefully craft your photographs.
• Rule of thirds: It teaches you where to place points of interest in your photos.
• Leading lines: This tip shows you how lines can help move a viewer's eye around the composition.
• Move around: Moving around gives you access to different perspectives, which might actually bring better compositions than what you first assumed.
• Horizon lines: Different from leading lines, horizon lines break up the frame into two parts.
• Shape: You will learn how to utilize shape that already exists in the frame and how to create it where you want it using points of interest.
• Foreground and background: This tip mentions usage of midground and why you should take advantage of the entire depth of your frame, not just the immediate foreground.
• Weight: You can give weight to your photos by placing a "heavier" subject to one side or the top or bottom of a frame.
• Juxtaposition: This basically means that you will place two opposite things side by side.
• Balance: Balance - ironically, you may think - is achieved in odd numbers.
• Tension: You can create tension by examining the relationships of your subjects and composing them accordingly.
• Framing: Framing can dramatically alter a viewer's perception of a scene.
• Color: Color can often be used as a crutch by new photographers.

great straight to the point info!!

this book was really good at hitting on the importance of the basics. it did a good job getting you use to the concepts.

Good perspectives.

It's easy to listen to, clear, and it is a good series of perspectives throughout.

I wish it was a longer book

I think this book was packed with a lot of useful information, but it felt rushed and quickly spoken. I would have loved more examples or to take more time explaining when to use which method, for example describing some famous photos to break down why it worked.

Thanks though for writing this, and I will definitely listen through a few more times to try and absorb more the next time through.

Good

Good direction for new photographers and some new information for experienced photographers
Perfect clear presentation

Good Reference

It makes for a good short reference to go back back and come up with ideas and put thoughts into actions.

instructive

I enjoyed it very much, I am going to listen to it again with a pad and pen to take notes.

pretty good for the price

pretty good info, basic stuff that you can read in every article online; however, it is good to have audio reference especially when you're practicing. it could be longer but overall it is good info , for the price.

Very enlightening for beginners in photography

The book talks about key the elements of taking great photos. It is a great read for beginners getting into photography.

Very Informative

I will listened to it again and again, highly recommend audiobooks. its worth buying it.

The 12 Compositions

I really enjoy understanding the compositions. I’ve practiced photography for 8 years and 2 years of collegiate schooling. They didn’t fully grasp the concepts of compositions. It was more of making it a business.
