Basics Creative Photography: 01. Design Principles - Tapa blanda

"Photographer Webb offers a beautifully designed and very useful introduction to the creative composition of a photograph. Although this volume explores the particulars of design theory via photographic illustrations, these principles are universally applicable. Thus, this book will interest anyone involved in the creation of visual images. Beginning with fundamental building blocks and moving to case studies and creative strategies, this volume, with its combination of text and images, provides readers with authoritative principles and superb photographic examples ... Images by Ernst Haas, Martine Franck, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Angus Fraser, Alexander Rodchenko, and dozens of other featured contributors are among the best photographs ever made. They brilliantly illustrate the ideas discussed in the text. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels, all libraries." R. M.

Basics Creative Photography: Design Principles introduces students to the use of design methodology in the creation of photographic images. In an age oversaturated with photographic imagery, this book demonstrates how design awareness can add a new level of depth to your images. It guides students through a comprehensive range of principles traditionally associated with design, including the use of line, shape, colour, space, texture and light, and demonstrates how these can be applied to photography. Basics Creative Photography: Design Principles introduces students to a more considered approach that can add dynamism and impact to photography, whatever the style or genre something that todays editors, curators and publishers are all crying out for.
