There are many general titles on landscape photography, but few that really tackle the issue of composition in great depth. The Art of Landscape Photography assumes a good working knowledge of the technical basics – such as correct exposure, filtration, and sharpness – and concentrates on the 'heart and soul' of landscape photography: the principles of composition and aesthetic design to convey meaning and emotion. While technique will not be ignored, the emphasis will be on how it impacts on the aesthetics of the image; for example, using filtration to enhance the mood of a scene rather than simply to balance the extremes of contrast.

Because of the nature of the subject matter, this is very much a picture-led book, with numerous example pictures to illustrate the compositional points being discussed. At the back of the book there will be thumbnails of all the pictures used, with a summary of the technical details – camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, filtration – to ensure that those who crave technical information are not disappointed.

Reviews for Art of Landscape Photography, The ^updated edition ]

The success of this book is down to the authors' insightful look at mastering the aesthetics of landscape photography and revealing how to create images that go beyond being purely representational. Using their own photographs as examples, Mark Bauer and Ross Hoddinott highlight established compositional rules - such as vanishing points, the golden section and visual balance - and show how they can be used as a framework to develop your own creative style. Consisting of nine thoughtfully written chapters, beautifully reproduced images and engaging design, The Art of Landscape Photography is a wonderful guide to the essential elements needed to produce artful images. The book's final chapter, Developing a Personal Style, touches on more experimental photographic techniques, including using minimalist, impressionistic and abstract. --Outdoor Photography
