The fine folks at Craft & Vision have been staying true to their mission of providing quality ebooks meant to educate photographers to increase their craft and explore their vision. Today, they released the latest publication by Andrew S. Gibson, author of “The Magic of Black and White, Part 1 & Part 2”: “Beyond Thirds: A Photographer’s Introduction to Creative Composition.”
In this ebook Gibson uses some of his beautiful imagery to explain basic guidelines of photographic composition beginning with the Rule of Thirds and moving beyond into aspects of the Golden Section, Balance, Dynamism, Contrast, Aspect Ratios, the use of Space and more.
This book is particularly useful to those photographers that are attempting to understand how positioning subjects in a photographic frame leads to stronger images. If you tend to adhere to-or have not even heard of-the “Rule of Thirds” this book is for you. Gibson is clear in his writing and explicit with his imagery and while he introduces the reader to varying compositional theories he also encourages the reader to work from feel. For $5 this ebook provides what it promises-an introduction-but can also serve as a nice reminder for those of us that think we are beyond such discussions.
