The Photographer's Eye


I bought this book last autumn while I was in Kansas City because of its colourful book cover and fascinating title. Well, after reading the first few chapters I definitely came to the conclusion that this gut decision to buy this book without browsing over any readers comment was a good one.

Michael Freeman explains in a very simple and self-explanatory way how the observer’s eyes would scan a specific photograph and how these concrete findings should be taken into consideration when an image gets composed.

He easily explains all the important elements like lines, curves, shapes, light, contrast, motion and structure with the help of wonderful photographs.

If you are looking for a book which gives you concrete design advices how a good image should be composed then this one is definitely the right investment.

Regards, Gerry
